"Hello, Fans of Urban and Local Agriculture,

 Join us for this Saturday's Urban Farm Field Day in Chicago
SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 10AM - 1PM.

 We'll start at the Resource Center's City Farm  at 10AM for a farm tour and chat with Grower, Tim  Wilson. He'll explain their urban farm model and growing methods, and answer your questions.

 Re-group at Green City Market  at 11:30AM to shop  and talk with Farm Forager Sheri Doyel and Dennis  Fiser of Tomato Mountain Farm.  The Market also serves as backdrop for an Author.

Talk with Holly Bishop at 12PM. She will read  from and discuss her book Robbing the Bees. Chicago  Waldorf teacher and beekeeper, Brian Gleichauf, will  facilitate the discussion. This event is  sponsored  through the Chicago Public Library's SummerReads program (see p23 for Food System events).  Bring a sack lunch and picnic afterwards - or buy  your lunch at the Market!
