Try Some Urban Farming
Oh my gosh, we have so much fruit from local trees! We will be making cider in our press constantly. Ravenna Ridge Metro Milkers will be showing how to milk a goat and Seattle Farm Co-op will have chickens on hand. And Abundant Greens CSA will host a Tomato Tasting at 2pm. Could we be more farm-y?
