Hello, I live in Sitka and during the recent Sitka Health Summit one of our chosen projects was to create a community garden/greenhouse that could help provide food security for our community. Go to http://www.sitkahealthsummit.org/ for more details on our top health/wellness priorities from the 2008 Sitka Health Summit.
Anyway, we're looking for models we can use that can help us grow food in an area where there is no current agriculture beyond what people grown in their back yards or at our small community garden. Since everything has to get to Sitka by boat or plane, we're expecting prices to soar beyond their current high levels as the price of fuel climbs into the stratosphere. We're welcome to suggestions. Thanks. |

So, how do we let people who might be interested know about this site? Anyone aware of local groups we could inform? How about how we get the word out statewide?

I've just made a change to the Resources page, and am pretty used to being edited on Wikipedia, so I just charged right in and began writing. I couldn't find any guidelines for the wiki here, which you/we may want to create. What does the group envision for the wiki? I can add a ton of books, newspaper columns, and publications that might make good resources, but I'd feel more comfortable if there was a section that provided some kind of mission statement and/or guideline for us newbie members.

I just picked up my meat delivery. We meet in the parking lot of one of the local stores. When you get there you hand over the cash and get your box of food. My egg dealer (er, farmer) has a similar set up. Parking lot, cash, product. It all feels vaguely illicit. Maybe it's because it's winter and much of it happens under the cover of darkness. Nonetheless, I think buying local should be celebrated and advertised, not relegated to obscure parking lots and conducted surreptitiously. What do you think?
