Old 99 Farm, week of Mar 25 2017

Did you know that the UN sponsored an International Day of Yoga last year, June 21? A highly regarded yogi, sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev was invited to speak to the assembly, a youtube of which is available on line. In fact this not the first, in 1970 Shri Chinmoy established daily meditations and a yoga club at the UN which is still going. Yoga is about self-awareness and union of inner and outer experience, very helpful in these troubled times.

Now the garden, also very helpful in these times. We have new harvest kale, chard, mixed greens, radish, arugula, cilantro, claytonia and cabbage, also potatoes, onions and garlic in root cellar.

Turkey and goose still on half price. Same with garlic at $1/bulb. Lamb and pork in good supply.!

The open house and discussion re permaculture and Belize agro-forestry was well attended, very enjoyable sharing afterward. I shared my intention to start a learning group for ‘newbie permies’ who want to learn how to do more in their own home/apartments/small properties to use permaculture to reduce their carbon footprints, become more self-sufficient, and design their places. We’ll use Bob Waldrop’s online book ipermie!. ($US2 (two) for an 800 page manual, the complete permaculture design course and more). It is “A good-life ebook design guide for Millennials, Boomers, and Generation X. Strategies, tools, and techniques to help you navigate the cardinal threats of climate instability, economic irrationality, the limits to growth, and political criminality. An Almanac of Useful Information and Urban Permaculture Self-Study Guide.”

If you are interested in learning more of this project, drop me a line.
