Get ready for farmers market season: learn how to make a 
“simple sew” reusable market bag! We can also show you an easy “no-sew” option for turning T-shirts into sturdy bags. Kid friendly!
Any extra bags we make will be donated to a local food pantry.
What to bring: For a woven fabric bag, you’ll need about 1-1/8 yard (42-45″ wide by 38-40″ long) of a sturdy fabric: not too heavy, not too sheer, no knits! Cheap and washable – this is enough for 2 bags. We’ll have everything else. Or bring an old T-shirt (or more): one shirt makes one bag.
We will also have material that you can buy: for $3 you can purchase enough to make two bags. Nine bright designs!
***
We’re planning another Seed Swap event later in the 
spring but in the meantime we’re offering a “Mini Swap” – bring seeds you have to swap!
Use the sign-up below so we can reserve a space for you.
We’ll also have a display / teachers so you can learn to start seeds, and seeds that anyone can take home. Spring is coming!

Sustainable is a family-friendly film about the land, the people
who work it and what must be done to sustain it for future generations.
The narrative of the film focuses on a seventh-generation farmer in central Illinois who watched his land and community fall victim to the pressures of big agribusiness. Determined to create a proud legacy for his son, he transforms his profitless wasteland and pioneers the sustainable food movement in Chicago.
We’ll have a short discussion after.
