Soil Health Workshop was Blast!
On Thursday April 10th, neighbors in the Oshkosh WI area gathered inside of the Bowenstreet Market maker space for our first community workshop. Justin Duell from The G Farm in Larsen WI led a discussion on permaculture, fungi and microbial soil health, regenerative gardening practices and composting.
Surrounded by art, color and creatively reused furniture – the sustainably furnished venue was the perfect space for a discussion on sustainable practices in gardening...one in which the locals had plenty of input to include...sharing ideas ranging from garden bed design, worm farming and compost sourcing.
Snacks were locally sourced from White River Bakery in Neshkoro, and attendees enjoyed lively discussion during and after the event.
"SteadGoods shares the vision for a more sustainably sourced local economy...and local community based food production is an easy place to start!" one founder stated. "If everyone grew a little, and exchanged it neighbor to neighbor, imagine the emissions, packaging, and waste we could eliminate."
SteadGoods provides a marketplace platform that allows just that – excess garden produce and locally crafted foods and goods to be bought, sold, and conveniently shopped for online. Payment processing and store pages are built in, making it easy for sellers – even on a casual, part time basis. And because you are shopping your zip code, you can get to know your trusted community members and stores....adding a layer of trust and connection you won't get anywhere else.
Locals finished out the night with laughter, new connections and ideas, and some even brought home one of our yard signs...promoting their local community creators. Yard signs can be ordered online if you like (Check them out HERE) and you can sign up as a seller or buyer at steadgoods.com.
We have MORE events in the works! Our events are on our Facebook page...so check us out and catch the next one!
