Laura say:
Ideas - I can cook a turkey in the dirt for the main food, make a hearty side salad, and provide drinks (purified water, tea, coffee, lemonade). I have plates and silverware for 12 people. I don't like to create trash, so I don't want disposables if it can be avoided, and would recycle as much as possible. I have 5 lawnchairs, 2 lawn lounges, and 2 benches with backs for seating. I have lots of yard for trading and easy access.

I was thinking around Oct. 23. Full moon time, good for transplanting. Start around 10-11, eat around noon, trade and chat...break-up whenever....

I can share worm and black soldier fly information and worm castings/vermicompost as well as plants, perhaps I could invite the water conservation person from the county over to speak about rain barrels or related. I'll likely have barrels available for trade/sale then, too, as I recently acquired 14 of them and will only turn 8 into rain barrels. I've got plans for others, but have plenty to share.

I have .81 acre, not a ranchette by any means, definately not fancy, and my home is "under construction" a little at a time (1982 doublewide) but plenty of room to set up. I think there were about a dozen people who had committed to coming, including some from Jacksonville. I'm about 90 miles from Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, Daytona...very central to Central Florida.
