For my CO friends!

The short answer: It’s the peak of spring migration season. The long answer has to do with biological clocks and weather. And please turn off your exterior lights if possible.

Just a reminder you still have time to pick up Eating on the Wild Side at Book Ends for a book group discussion 3pm on Sunday July 27. There is so much information about vegetables and fruits, you will want this as a reference. Just bought new red potatoes last week at the Contoocook Farmers Market and was happy to cook them unpeeled for potato salad. The author does not recommend eating the skins of store bought potatoes because of all the chemicals and pesticides used. Which reminds me, I need to go out and squish a few more potato bugs and larvae.

Eating on the Wild Side by Jo Robinson is now available in paperback at Book Ends in Warner. This is the July choice for the book group, meeting at 3pm on Sunday July 27. All are welcome. Andrew Weil, MD, author of True Food and Spontaneous Happiness says "I learned so much from this outstanding book about how to choose, store, and prepare the best varieties of fruits and vegetables available today to compensate for the drastic changes that plant breeding and modern agriculture have wrought on their wild ancestors. Jo Robinson tells you how to shop, cook, and eat to maximize your intake of protective phytonutrients that nature puts in plants. Highly recommended."

Although available thru NH libraries downloadable book program, this is a reference book I'll turn to again and again to help me decide what vegetables and fruits to buy and plant. There are tips on how to store and how to cook. Book Ends gives a 20% discount on book club choices!

FREE FILM on an important topic!

From the Capital Area Wellness Coalition; "... Thursday October 24th from 4-6 pm, leaders from around the state will gather at Red River Theatres for a screening of The Weight of the Nation: Communities.

Over 33% of NH's 3rd graders and nearly 62% of NH's adults are overweight or obese. What can we do about this? As part of this event, we'll have a panel of experts to discuss the film and what opportunities we have in the Capital Area to make a difference.

Tickets are free, and can be reserved by visiting www.RedRiverTheatres.org."

See which independent movies are playing now at Red River Theatres (Concord, NH), a non-profit movie cinema.

NH Gleans is a program that connects surplus farm and garden produce with local area food pantries. I am the coordinator for the Kearsarge-Andover area. Gleaning is going onto farms and picking produce that the farmer doesn't want or needs to sell.

On Tuesday, August 20th, there will be a Share your harvest Day when home gardeners can drop off any extra washed vegetables and fruits they have and I will distribute them to area food pantries. The event will take place at Mainstreet Bookends in Warner from 9am-11am and 3pm-7pm.

I could use a couple people to help me during this event.

I am trying to build a list of volunteers for any future gleaning projects in the Kearsarge area. People can volunteer once or many times.

To volunteer, please contact
