Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market:  This Week at the Market

A good soaking of rain helped boost the seedlings and things are growing well here at the farm.
There are still tomato plants left and this is the last week to get them! For market customers only they are available for $3 each plant. Right now there are about 20 left. If you don’t care which variety, you can place an order online and I’ll set them aside, otherwise stop by and purchase at the stand this week for the sale price.
Have a great week!

Old99Farm Market:  Post-Doom, No Gloom big picture on Climate Crisis

It’s really not a climate crisis, it’s an overshoot and bottleneck predicament facing the human race.
If you’re looking for some perspective on this, (60% of American youth are distressed by it) look no further.

Michael Dowd* will be delivering a live Zoom presentation this Wednesday, May 3rd at 10:30am PDT / 1:30pm EDT for the Canadian Association for the Club of Rome (CACOR): https://canadiancor.com/

All are welcome to join!

Topic: The Big Picture: Beyond Hope and Fear – with Michael Dowd

Date and Time: Wednesday, May 3, 2023 1:30pm EDT / 10:30am PDT

Meeting ID: 893 5478 3674
Passcode: 543421

Summary:

No one needs convincing that we are living in an age of chaos and breakdowns. Even those without an ecological understanding of history feel the stress. How do we cope? How can we escape the seesaw of hope and fear? And, crucially, how can we be of support to others who are confused, angry, depressed, or filled with fear, blame, or guilt?

*Dowd is an American progressive Christian minister, author, and eco-theologian known as an advocate of Big History, religious naturalism, sustainability, climate activism, and the epic of evolution.[wikipedia]
I know him personally and applaud his attempt to get people of any faith/nonfaith tradition to wake up to our global predicament.
