KENTUCKY GREEN LIVING FAIR.

Last weekend we went up to Somerset for the 2014 Kentucky Green Living Fair. It was really wonderful - we met so many amazing folks doing amazing things in our state. We hung out with all our favorite Bowling Green ladies, Jesse taught a workshop on fermentation, I ate Woodford Reserve bourbon bread pudding ice cream, and (more importantly) we took hot showers at our hotel. Success!We really love this event, and especially the superhero woman who basically runs the show all on her own - Jamie, you're the best.Thanks to everyone who came by and said hello - we love meeting you guys and hearing your stories.- Hannah.ky green living fair. ky green living fair. ky green living fair. ky green living fair. ky green living fair.PS: We will be back in Somerset on April 19 for WILDfest - a foraging and fermenting festival with Sandor Katz (!) at Cedar Creek. Tickets are still available!

SPRINGING FORWARD.

Happy Spring Equinox! We've been busy around here. Even though the weather is still dipping into the 20s and 30s (argh!), we have been ignoring this and starting more and more trays of soil blocks. And since trying to squeeze all of these trays into our tiny cold frame during the day and stacking them on the kitchen sink at night wasn't working too well, we built a greenhouse yesterday.greenhouse. greenhouse.We were lucky to have most of these materials laying around, either given to us or salvaged or found or repurposed. We are planning to cover the floor with gravel and then hopefully build some tables and shelves for plants and tools. Hooray for getting stuff done out of necessity!- Hannah.greenhouse.
