Re: [omi] Farm Hacks

Greetings OMI-ers - Meet Tim and Evan! Tim is great, and so is Evan! Collectively, they shape, shift, and modify, farm tools that Evan uses at a CSA project w/in the Alameda Point Collaborative (apcollaborative.org). I am writing OMI because Evan could use shop-hacks help w/ tinkers and tricks along the way to continue to realize his tri-annual harvests at this diversified urban farm. Tim has masterfully accumulated choice farm machinery for Evan's project; there is just a bit of a void where hardware enthusiasts could really accelerate this grassroots effort out on the Island. So I am just writing to connect OMI with the boys across the canal, and hope that - from here - OMI will check out the APC farm (it is super cool - aquaponics, polycultures, cobb oven, etc.) and offer its shop resources, talent, and passion, to further realize social justice ecology in the east bay and beyond. Onwards! -corey 510.387-2010 p.s. I am stuck deep deep in course-work at the UC, and hope to have the time to come and hang out in the shop one of these Saturdays, if those weekly meet-ups are still active. What's been going on over there?!? The pictures from shop clean-up and re-organizing look great! with love!
