SUMMARY:2025 Southeastern Permaculture Gathering
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Southeastern Permaculture Gathering is right around the corner. Please sign up before July 1st to get the Early Bird discount! It is at\nThe Patterson School Foundation in Lenoir\, NC. \nThis is the first time we’ve had 16 amazing teachers teachers & workshops scheduled AHEAD of time. Usually it’s all organically created once we come together\, but we want y’all to know some of what to expect. We will also continue our tradition of having affinity circles where any of us can call a discussion circle on a topic we are excited about. This is an opportunity for our community to grow our knowledge base and learn so much from each other! 🌿 \nWe are capping this special event at 125 so it is still intimate and keeps the reunion vibe\, though we always invite new folks to join us and continue passing on the tradition and practices we learn from each other. Join us even if you haven’t practiced permaculture before\, we will have an introduction to permaculture class\, so there will be people of all levels of wisdom to share 💖☀️🌿 \nThere are a few work exchange options as well and limited sponsorship options for those in need or BIPOC. Please check out our website and also have a look at our teachers and workshop schedule so far!

SUMMARY:4th Annual HarvestFest Supporting ASAP
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Olivette’s Riverside Park on Saturday August 23rd for a very special benefit show in support of ASAP’s Double SNAP for Fruits and Vegetables program. HarvestFest is a celebration of local farmers\, community and music. Doors open at 3pm with family games and activities and live music. \nIn honor of our local farmers and all they do to sustain our community\, all farmers and their families will have free entry to the event. There will also be a VIF section (Very Important Farmers) that will pamper our farmers during the busy harvest season. \nAll ticket proceeds will go towards the ASAP Double SNAP for Fruits and Vegetables program. \nASAP’s Double SNAP for Fruits and Vegetables program offers a match on dollars spent by SNAP customers at participating farmers markets with tokens that can be used for produce. Many EBT shoppers explained that the program eases concerns over having enough food each month. One shopper explained\, “It has significantly reduced the stress of managing the little amount of money given per month for EBT. I can make choices that allow me to eat more vegetables and eggs than I otherwise could afford.” Farmers market managers and vendors also noted the benefits of the program. Many note that this leads to ongoing relationships with shoppers and allows them to grow their business with loyal customers. One vendor shared\, “It has not only increased my sales\, it has allowed me to interact and build relationships with customers who would normally be outside my business’ demographic.” Another farmer shared\, “This investment quite literally nourishes the community for both the producer and consumer of farmer’s market produce!” \nWe are honored to have the opportunity to celebrate and support this great program with a fun filled day of music\, activities\, and nature. HarvestFest is produced by Olivette Riverside Community and Farm and Chatt Hills Music. \nTickets are $25 a ticket (Kids\, Farmers & Farmer Families are free!). Purchase tickets here.
