This Summer, beginning July 1st, we have our Summertime Salon!  Every Thursday evening, from 5-9 PM, we have a wonderful dinner from the garden,  figure drawing with a live model, Music jams, a nap corner, and various kid-friendly activities!   You can figure draw for an hour, then join in with the musicians and sing a few songs.  Or just eat pie.

 

  • Music over here  (bring your instrument, and just play with whoever shows up)
  • Art/figure drawing over there (to make this free, I need free models! Sign up now for summer.  You don’t have to be nude, come in costume if you’d like.  I have a few easels, but bring your own art supplies and extra easel if you have one.)
  • Collage on that table (bring your own supplies, especially magazines to cut!)
  • Games on this table (bring a game you want to play)
  • Kids craft table (anything from feather hair clips to nosegays.  Craft from the garden.)
  • Or just chase the chickens

We have coffee, tea, a delicious vegetarian dish from the garden, and pie for sale.   Menu is dependent on what’s fresh from the garden.  Pie is seasonal fruit.  Sometimes we have biscuits and fresh jam.

Urban Farm Market: Now every Thursday of the month bring your excess produce, flowers, honey, homemade cheese, art, jewelry, sweet treats, etc. to our Urban Farm Market tables to sell or trade with the other vendors.  Our intention is to grow a farmer’s market for the DIY community who don’t make enough to sell at the Farmer’s Market.  This could also be a great time to barter.  Just bring your goods and a fair price for them, and we can begin the underground market! If this is popular, we could do it every week, and into the Fall. It’s proving popular, so we’re extending the Urban Farm Market to every week.

You don’t have to RSVP to come play.  Please let us know if you’d like to sell at the market, though, or if you’re interested in becoming a figure model.  Tell all your friends, and come hang out into the night with us and dust off your talents!  May your community, artistic, and creative dreams come true.

Recently we had the great pleasure of supplying flowers for India Joze’ flower festival. Pictures of these flowers are below.

Held 16 May at Joze’ new restaurant location, the scene I saw at the Flower Festival was the evolved artistic food expression I’ve come to know from Master Chef Jozseph Schultz.  You can look at their pictures (Facebook pictures and event page) via the India Joze Facebook page.  What I captured here are shots of our flower delivery.  (These pictures are available under a Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 Unported.)
