Howdy! I am writing you because we are in the same area and I am looking for people to ride share to HVFN events. I have fibromyalgia and mild cerebral palsy, so I cannot drive, and this area doesn’t have real para-transit, so I…

Split 'n' Share

Share a share. Split a cow. Barter one too many squash for three too many beans.

Farmers Against NAIS

This group is for the many of us who are tired of "Big Business" dictating policy and forcing the small, local guys to pay the price. I will do my best to keep all of the members on top of all the developments in the Govt'.See More

Collard greens and other late season plants...

Are there any local sources for winter/cold hardy seedlings? My searches have all been futile thus far...I had planned on starting my own this year, but then I moved right in the middle of the optimal seedling start time. Gah!I'd love to score some collard seedlings especially...any thoughts?See More

Preserving Food at Home: A Self Study Course

Hi y'all!Have any of you taken the "Preserving Food at Home" self study course available at National Center for Home Preservation website? Last autumn when I was having big time canning dreams I had come across their site, but I didn't notice the course until this year...Oh, and it's free...you just have to sign up through UGA (University of Georgia)...just wondering if anyone out here has experience with it already, thoughts, ideas...I'll probably sign up for the course today if anyone wants…See More

I have fibromyalgia and mild cerebral palsy, so I cannot drive, and this area doesn’t have real para-transit, so I cannot get to most things. I’d be happy to share in the cost of gas. If you are going to an event and you are OK with ridesharing, please send me a message about events you are attending and when you’d be leaving and returning and what you’d want in gas money. It feels weird to contact strangers this way, but I figured if you’re in HVFN you must be “good people” and into community building and green living stuff. Thanks a lot. If this makes you uncomfortable or anything, don’t worry. But if you are into it, just drop me a line. Blessed being! Heather PS I live on Rt 9W in the Village of Saugerties/Barclay Heights next to the Esopus Creek.
