Henry Melendy from My Yard Farm is joining us this month!  Their company designs, installs and maintains local Edible Urban Landscapes and Culinary Gardens.  They focus on small backyard projects and community gardens, to large projects like the recent Whisper Creek Farm at the JW Marriott / Ritz Carlton Property.

Their mission is to co-create a community rich in local, organic food through sustainable growing practices.  They work with any size space to produce delicious, nutritious food for your office, family or business.

Henry is going to share:

• His story of quitting the 9 to 5 to follow one of his true passions
• The experiences of starting your own company
• Thoughtful Garden Design
• Detailed Installation
• Quintessential Maintenance
• Fall/ Winter Planting Strategies

Monday nights Audubon Park serves up lots of local food coming from all over the community. You can do most all of your grocery shopping while listening to live music and having a dinner & a drink with your friends.  For the holidays cook with ingredients from the bounty of local food we have during this season.

Homegrown Co-op is recruiting 300 new members in a fundraising push that will launch 2012 plans that will make a big impact for Central Floridians wanting convenient access to local food—which is the Co-op’s primary mission.

In what remains of 2011, Homegrown Co-op has an ambitious plan to recruit 300 new members – including individual registrations and gift memberships – to meet its year-end capital revenue needs and be able to continue its development plans into 2012.

At the minimum, funds raised through this membership drive will secure the Co-op’s operational expansion in order to continue providing greater customer convenience and a wider selection of inventory for their weekly online market and their Farm Store. The Co-op’s eventual goal, however, is significantly grander: to develop its convenience storefront into 7 days of operation with a larger selection of food, and to launch three neighborhood pick up sites in Winter Park, Dr Phillips, and University of Central Florida during the first half of 2012.

Continued development of their retail storefront will offer a level of access and convenience that is in great demand but not currently available.
