Brown Bag Series #1 - January 16, 2019 - Local Food
Have you ever wondered what the buzz is about local food? Why is it important to our communities? How can you find out who is knowledgeable about it and why it might be good for people? This panel will bring folks to you who are in the know and working on local food issues. Come hear from a local farmer, Damien Apple from Native Roots Farm, growing food for local families, managers of a local farmer’s market, Catherine Mrozinski and Jen Samuelson, representative from the Northwest Indiana Food Council Dominique Edwards and the Pax Center of LaPorte represented by Pastor Nate Louks and Director Jason Clemons, dedicated to putting local, nutritional food in the hands of the people. This first session will be January 16, noon to 1:00 p.m. CST, LaPorte County Extension Office, 2857 W. State Road 2, LaPorte, Indiana.
The Brown Bag Gardening Series features short, information-packed sessions presented by Master Gardeners, are held at a public location and everyone is welcome to attend. They’re held on a Wednesday, noon to one, or 6 to 7 p.m. These lessons are presented during the non-gardening months of January through April, so we don’t compete with the gardening time for anyone. Many people even attend during their lunch break from work for a quick gardening session and a chance to talk with other gardeners.
Our plans are set for an exciting set of Brown Bag Gardening Educational Sessions for 2019 during the months of January through April. Thanks to the help of several volunteers, we have some great learning coming up.
Don’t forget to mark your calendars with dates, times and locations, so you don’t miss this exciting series. They do count as education hours for your Master Gardener hours, and the cost is only $5 for each session, or $15 for the entire series, if paid at the first event. Coordinator: Karren Coplen
