Koen has this book about a bear that we read quite frequently. It’s all about the different seasons, beginning and ending with hibernation. I’ve been identifying with that little bear more than I’d ever imagined. It’s especially noticeable now that I’m documenting our pursuits, or lack thereof…We do have big plans for ‘09, but apparently my body and mind are focusing on other endeavors for now.
One exciting event for those of you in the KC area, is the Annual Farmer’s Expo put on by the Kansas City Food Circle. The focus is on supporting local and organic farmers. We’ve been going for the last few years and always have a lot of fun. It’s free and there’s food and music, but mainly it’s a unique opportunity for farmers and eaters to connect. If you’ve been considering signing-up for a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), this is a great time to interview farmers. They also have workshops, reps from local non-profits, some goods for sale (soap, seedlings, etc), and loads of cool activities for kids. This year there are two dates: March 28th in Shawnee, KS and April 4th in Independence, MO. Details are on the kcfoodcircle site.
