Locavores news- The Seed TIOLI at the library is being continued for another month, because it has been very successful! Thanks for making it happen! There is still a wonderful assortment of seeds available, and of course adding more is always appreciated. Some lovely person left a bunch of really interesting Asian greens seeds. Also, check out the wonderful selection of gardening books the library has to offer.

The locavores made 100 delicious and nutritious tamale pies (2 servings each) to be shared with our neighbors.
