Food Not Bombs provided the fresh from the dumpster lunch of soups, salads, bread, hummos and coffee.
Most attendees had been encouraged to bring their own utensils and bowls, making a minimum of waste.
Musicians, local dance troupes and vendors provided entertainment during the breaks and a seed swap was utilized by many as a way to explore new food and planting options. For more information, or to get involved, go to:
