IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

The skillshare goes from 10am - 10pm on saturday. there will be an evening fire and trade blanket. on sunday, it goes from 10am to 5pm.

This is a co-created event - please bring your land-based skills to share! it is also an experiment in gift economy, though some kind of contribution is requested to support our hosts. This might be a monetary donation, volunteering to drive a shuttle shift, or really busting it to help us clean up.

Please bring food for the community kitchen! it would be especially helpful if you could dumpster some produce on yr way over. skillshare participants will have access to a full kitchen but it'll take the self-organization of the group to make meals happen.

you can ride your bike to the farm (11640 sw boones ferry rd.) but we don't have any space for cars! Park at or ride the #12 bus to Barbur Blvd Transit Center Park and Ride,  9712 SW Barbur BLVD. Shuttles will bring you to the farm at 9, 10, 12, 4 & 5 on both saturday and sunday.

Camping is available on saturday night but you MUST reserve a space beforehand. that's a sliding scale of $5 - $25.

For more information or to volunteer to help, call aspen at 208 221 9536, aspe...@gmail.com, or tinder at 518 567 9044.
 

TLC Farm's stage gets a Beautiful Butterfly Roof!

A few months ago we put out a call to friendly architects to find a design for a new stage roof.  We were very blessed that Mark Lakeman & Sebastian Collet from Communitecture not only designed an amazingly beautiful butterfly roof, they bottomlined building it.  Many, many thanks!

Thanks also to the crew who helped build the roof (in the rain, and long into the night): Jacob, Frances, Matt, Maralena and more.  These good folks worked hard to ensure that our butterfly would be ready in time to dazzle the folks at Bloom, and every day since.
