1. Plan to Grow Summary now available online

The initial report of the Plan to Grow action research project has been completed and the summary report is now available at http://www.newfarmproject.ca/plan-to-grow/ . This initial summary presents the main findings of the report as well as key opportunities for action in our community. Hard copies will be available at the Fall Gathering to accompany a more in-depth presentation of the findings, which will form the basis for group discussion in the afternoon. The full version of the report, including the results of the Fall Gathering discussions will be released early in 2012.

2. 2nd Annual Passing on the Gift newsletter

The second annual Passing on the Gift update reflects the successes of the project and the farm community we support. In these newsletters we provide updates on the gifts the project has given to farmers, and gifts that have been successfully passed on, as well as gifts in progress or waiting to happen. Check it out by visiting http://www.newfarmproject.ca/passing-on-the-gift/pog-update/
