This year, one of our big challenges was the drought. So, to start out our Ames winter potluck schedule- the first friday of every month, we'll be talking about drought, water use, and resiliency to stresses such as drought. Following that, we'll be talking in November about how our farm did the last year, and what our future plans are. In December, we'll be going in a different direction with a discussion on social justice, inequality, and education, led by Chris Fowler. The goal with these potlucks is to inform the attendees, but also realize that everyone that comes has information that can be valuable for others, and foster a productive discussion about subjects in agriculture, social justice, spirituality, and the environment, or some combination thereof. Before that discussion, we'll have a potluck dinner to share food with eachother, from 6 to 7 Information about the first few potlucks is below:
