Workshop Introduction: SAV 109 is a three hour introductory workshop about raising poultry for food production or as a hobby. A growing number of citizens across the country are choosing to raise poultry on their farms or in their backyards. Lots of people raise poultry for eggs and meat that proponents say taste fresher.

Local Food Development brainstorming session
Saturday November 20, 2010
An opportunity to convene with a variety of people, farmers, farm leaders, chefs, farm market managers, District representatives, etc. who are all in positions where they can contribute to increasing and meeting the demand for locally grown products in our area.
Here is our theme question for Saturday: What are the issues and opportunities facing Muskoka-Parry Sound as we look for ways to expand production, distribution and consumption of local food?
Hosted by SAVOUR MuskokaDelta Grandview Resort, 939 Highway 60 Huntsville, ON
This event will begin Friday evening 7.00 pm - 9 .00 pm, with an exciting presentation by Dianne Dowling from Kingston's “New Farm” project, including a short film titled “Food Down the Road”. Saturday's meeting will be a little unusual. We will be working in “Open Space”, an unusual way of applying a group's collective energy to a challenge. Open Space has been used successfully with hundreds of groups around the world ranging from corporate bank board members to church leaders to third-world villagers. There is no prepared agenda and no certainty as to where we will end up. We only know the theme, who is coming and what we are interested in. Open Space will allow us to address complex issues with high degrees of innovation and consensus. Be prepared to be surprised, and have fun!
