We made our beds so each has one half one foot high and the other half two feet high.

I know there was interest in this tonight at Marker Monday!! I’d absolutely come to a community meeting if you guys hold another one!

I was just about to post here. We need to have an initial meeting to talk about actually forming an official committee.

Would this Thursday night work for people?

that’s 2 committee members we need 3 more and a meeting time. If someone wants to throw out some dates and times I can create a poll and schedule it on the community calendar.

The City of Wichita / Sedgwick County Food System Master Plan is being formed by a group that has met 2 or 3 times. Here is the website: https://www.wichita.gov/FoodPlan/Pages/default.aspx

This could pan out to be an important initiative that may have grant dollars available.
I think MakeICT at the table would be great and potentially give MakeICT more facetime within the community as the master plan is finalized and rolled out.

There are also USDA grants for hoop houses.

I’d like to be involved as some lower level as I am working on some other committee projects right now.
I do think if we plant trees they should bear fruit or nuts.

I shared their initial survey here. I hope some other members besides myself responded.

I know how to cook biochar for soil amenity! I think I have my old torrent barrel at the farm. I would be interested in the committee if you still need people. I also work at Firefly Farm

I’m so happy to see a lot of interest here for this. I think the first step is to get a formal list of committee members. Please copy and paste the below list and add your name if you’re in! We only need 5, but feel free to keep adding to it for anyone interested. Then we can set up a time to meet.

  1. Sean Sandefur

Add me to the list. I can’t copy/paste from the phone version of the app for some reason, only lets me highlight one word

Thanks!

@malissa - let’s get a meeting time figured out. I think next week would give everyone some time to see the event and join if they want. I’m free any day of the week after 6PM.
