Help! Your CSL web master is now obsessed with brewing kombucha, a healthy-fizzy-fermented drink, and is looking for any gallon sized glass jars that anyone is willing to give away!

You can view all of the details of this request, plus post your own ad for anything you’re looking for, willing to trade, or willing to give away on our new Community Bulletin Board!

As well as a place for free exchanges and trades, you can continue discussions with regard to Permaculture and the Northfield Commons Café!

Many thanks go out to Northfield Tractor and Equipment for donating tilling services to the Greenvale Park Community Garden! After much wet and rainy conditions, the soil was finally ready to be tilled.

Let the planting begin!

Many thanks go out to the 25 participants who came together for our first Northfield Commons Café! We all drew out pictures of our visions and dreams for community, and after sharing, we came up with our questions. Many thanks to Norman Butler, who brought it two bottles of wine to Tiny’s, yet had to leave to take care of other business at the Contented Cow. And ultimately, many more thanks go out to Tim Sellars of Tiny’s for staying open late for this event! We love Tiny’s!

Pictures will be coming soon of the event!

Here are the questions that came out, all unedited. In our next café, we will wrench through these questions, and begin talking about how we might go about answering them. If you would like to join the discussion, these questions will also be posted on our new Bulletin Board - just register and start the discussion!
