April forum:
Movie Screening
“The Greenhorns”
Monday, April 16, 7-9 pm
West Seattle Senior Center
4217 SW Oregon St.

The film explores the lives of America’s young farming community – their spirit, practices, and needs. The filmmakers hope that by broadcasting the stories and voices of these young farmers, a case can be made for those considering a career in agriculture. The film aims to embolden America’s young farmers, to entice them, and to recruit them into farming.

Following the film, SWS will have a panel discussion comprised with new farmers who will tell their stories of success and learning. We’re focusing on urban farmers who have made this a career in the Seattle and Puget Sound areas.

Panelists include:
Becky Warner of City Grown Farms
Clarice Swanson of Blue Valley Meats

This film presentation is sponsored by LocalTools.org.

Seed sale
SWS will be hosting an organic seed and plant sale before and after the forum. Price will be one dollar ($1) for each organic seed packet or plant, with proceeds benefiting the Community Orchard of West Seattle. Seeds include peas, beans, squash, lettuce, kale, carrots and beets. Plants include ever-bearing strawberries and chives.
