A terrific discussion of local grain production played to a packed house (literally) on Monday night at the EPG’s monthly soiree. From amaranth to quinoa, the role of grains in the local foodshed, and how they might become a greater part of our local food production paradigm proved to be a topic of great interest.
Folks interested in continuing the discussion should sign on to the local Lane County Grains discussion group. The more voices, the more information gets shared, so jump in.
Other items for discussion included where to host next month’s gathering (June 9), as the three-dozen or more attendees pretty much maxed out the comfortable capacity of the space so graciously provided by Bryna and her husband. So… ideas? Outdoor venues? A backyard perhaps?
And once we have a locale, what about a topic? Eco-village projects and overall food health were two topics floated at the meeting, but the floor remains open for timely and relevant topics that might form the basis for next month’s meeting. Suggestions? Post them here or on the EPG listserv.

Two-week residential intensive on ins and outs of permaculture design.
With focus in Ecosystem Restoration in Drylands, Food Forest Design & Productive Home Gardens. This class is followed by Applied Watershed Restoration Workshop (May 11 - May 16)
Hi I have a property for sale that could make a good setting for community minded folks. The property in West Jefferson, Eugene contains two duplexes situated on a 1/4 acre lot on 13th St at VanBuren Ave. Ideally four interested parties (couples, young families, single professional folk) could each own their own 2 bedroom, 800 sq ft home for around $100,000 each. Much of the landscaping geared towards permaculture/community space has been completed and now the living spaces are ready for updating/remodeling. If you know of anyone who is looking for an opportunity to own and design their own home please share this with them or have them contact me. I can be a flexible seller and would be interested in discussing options with people who are seriously interested. Buyer's could rent to own. Thanks for your time, (707)845-2634
