permaculture

Amy,

This sounds interesting and important for the region. Just this  
morning I was as the MOFGA Farmer to Farmer Conference in a workshop  
about Northeast food security with Russell Libby and others. The basic  
premise was trying to achieve 80% food self sufficiency for the region  
by 2050. Is your roundtable related to the work that he, or MOFGA in  
general, has been involved in? Where will your meeting be held. Not  
sure If I can make meetings, but would love to be kept in the loop on  
this regardless.

Thanks,
