October 5th Meeting

 Michelle Shaw will introduce us to the possibilities of eating homegrown foods year-round and

the benefits of doing so. You will learn about the hydroponic method of growing year-round

food with a brief look at a simplified aquaponic unit. The benefits and concepts of each method

will be explained and the care required for each system will be demonstrated.

We will ask the questions; What is stopping us from eating year-round, how can we protect the environment and still enjoy fresh food? Did you know lettuce is the number one “waste” food when purchased at the grocery store?

Join us to learn more!
