Cultivating Local Food Security
With Permaculturist Marisha Auerbach

* 10 am – 2 pm

Note: If you have cultivated organic or biodynamic seeds to share, bring them
and we’ll do an old-fashioned seed exchange!
In the Maritime Northwest, even with limited time and effort, it is possible
to establish a system for growing all your own food year-round. Our current
system for transporting food causes food prices to increase with the distance
they travel. As the cost of petroleum rises, perennial foraging and
permaculture systems can provide ways to support an evolution toward a more
sustainable society. Marisha Auerbach specializes in converting properties to
perennial forage systems, where food needs are met simply and locally. A
perennial forage system functions much like a natural ecological system, and
produces year-round yields with minimal work. Marisha derives most of her diet
and income from her garden and has surplus produce, herbal products, and
crafts to give away and trade for other supplies.
As part of her presentation, Marisha will present slides of some of her
gardening projects and discuss how individuals and groups can work toward
self-reliance, as well as some simple tactics to grow more food and flowers in
your urban environment. If you’re ready to learn about opportunities for
creating cultural change through gardening, and how permaculture ethics and
principles can help guide us towards clarity on sustainable lifestyle choices,
don’t miss this special event.
