ShareWaste participants are growing! Thank you

ShareWaste is a website and phone application that connects people who have food scraps with those who want them.  We have been using it for awhile and are grateful for other local folks who have signed up.  Our biggest obstacle in getting food scraps turned into soil are finding locations that are willing to take food scraps.  This connection tool has helped us find much needed sites.  Thanks so much for signing up! Would you like to share your food scraps or accept food scraps?  Go here https://sharewaste.com/ to sign up.

Harvest Fest was wonderful. Thank you

Thank you to everyone who made Harvest Fest an heart warming community event. What a special evening. It was so wonderful to share a potluck dinner with everyone. Transylvania Shares was onsite and brought their grinding mill. I brought in corn I had grown and it was milled into grits and flour. We made cornbread on the spot and shared it. It was a wonderful experience. What a wonderful, loving community we live in. Thanks to all the Moving to Conservers members who attended. After a (public) house full of people we had almost no clean up. Zero waste is such a gift.

Prepared Vegan and Vegetarian Holiday treat by a local Chef

Our Eating Consciously group did a survey awhile ago asking if there was a demand for prepared vegan meals in our community. The answer was Absolutely! Cup and Saucer has since added delicious plant-based meals to their menu and they are a favorite spot for me when I am looking for a meal in Brevard. We wanted to share another opportunity we have learned about. Whistlestop Market is offering a locally prepared vegan or vegetarian Wellington for the holidays. We have put our order in for a vegan version with the vegan gravy. We will be sharing it during our Thanksgiving day potluck at the Canteen. We appreciate Val offering this version and look forward to supporting her and enjoying the meal! If you would like to order, send Whistlestop an email at [email protected].

Our gathering with Mountaintrue at the Cedar Mountain Canteen was fabulous.

We had our first gathering of 2021 June 3rd at the Cedar Mountain Canteen with a presentation from Anna of Mountaintrue and learned how to be good neighbors to the Little River, which is beside our beer garden.  It was magical seeing everyone together for the first time in over a year.  The food was fantastic and it was a joyous occasion. We learned the results of our first water test in the Little River and it was excellent!  Thanks to everyone who joined us.  It was wonderful to be together again.
