Uh. I just got busy. Really busy. I’ve been mentioning on and off for years, the work of the Oakland Food Policy Council (OFPC). I have had high hopes for this advisory body. In fact, I have had high hopes in general for the ability of the city of Oakland to be a national leader in developing alternative food systems and creative food entrepreneurship. Putting my beliefs into action, I have now taken on the role of Coordinator for the Oakland Food Policy Council.
This is a fascinating development in the “urban farm experience” as it is taking my action out of my backyard and into my city and beyond. OFPC is being incubated by Food First, an inspiring, highly credible and deeply informed think tank on global food justice. I am now surrounded by motivated thinkers schooled on social theory. Love it.
What’s going on at the farm: The rain came and yet again I did not prepare by digging a drainage ditch in the chicken run, damn it. Also, I just decided that I’ll never actually make time to tan my rabbit pelts so I just started doing it. They are defrosting now. Following Kitty’s lead, I will follow the steps of the Mother Earth News article on the topic. Or more likely, text Kitty constantly to find out what to do next. Thank god we urban farmer folks are now connect via text! This could not have happened a year ago.
Upcoming posts: Kate Marie, I am going to follow up with the Mexican Herbal Remedies you asked about. I’ll also post about the tanning process once I’ve completed it.
