Tabling with Transplanting Traditions
2017-09-02 11:00 - 14:00
Look for the teens of Transplanting Traditions Community Farm outside our Carrboro store. They’ll be sharing a bit of what the farm produces.

The farm received a 2017 Cooperative Community Fund grant to build a commercial vegetable processing station at the farm.
Sign up to attend a community workday. We’ll have a tour and learn about the farm, and then help complete major farm projects alongside community members and farmers: painting a new barn, mulching pathways, and weeding. The workday happens on Saturday, September 23, from 9 to 1 PM.

Ugly & Wild Movie
2017-09-13 19:00 - 21:00
Even though your mama said, “there are many fish in the sea,” we often seek out what we already know. Locals Seafood is an inland fish house in Raleigh, North Carolina, that believes love awaits those who are willing to take a chance with the lesser-known, but ultra fresh, bounty caught off their coast. Over the last decade nearly 40% of NC fish houses have closed due to increasing demand for imported seafood, which is familiar and cheap, but from obscure sources using unknown practices. Ugly & Wild explores how Locals Seafood is creating new connections with venerable coastal fishing families to bring one of the state’s last wild foods to a dinner plate near you. After all, true beauty is fried on the inside.
Watch a premiere of the film, eat oysters, and play bingo at the Person Street Bar, 805 N. Person St. in Raleigh. There will be fish tacos for sale. Proceeds benefit NC Catch.

Transplanting Traditions Workday
2017-09-23 09:00 - 13:00
Join us at a community workday at Transplanting Traditions Community Farm. Sign up on Facebook, or just show up.
We’ll have a tour (9 to 9:45 AM) and learn about the farm, and then help complete major farm projects alongside community members and farmers: painting a new barn, mulching pathways, and weeding. Bring your friends and family!
Transplanting Traditions began as a project of the Orange County Partnership for Young Children to adapt refugee farmers from Burma to farming in North Carolina. It has turned into a community space for the families who farm there and the entire refugee community. Farmers grow crops like snake gourd and water spinach that are native to Burma, as well as medicinal plants. Growing their own healthy food insulates the families from food insecurity and prevents illness. The growers share the farm’s abundance with others in the community through donated CSA shares, distribution by PORCH, and direct gifts. Having familiar foods, especially as a new arrival, is a comfort and a way to preserve cultural heritage.
Watch a video about the farm, here.
Location: 2912B Jones Ferry Road, Chapel Hill. Click for more details.

Meet the chickens of Perry Farm Alpacas: over 20 breeds plus a couple of chicks born on the farm. The eggs they produce are truly free range and come in every color that chickens can make. Say hello the farm protectors, two Anatolian Shepherd Dogs. They live with the flock and the herd, keeping every member safe from the many predators in the area.
Start you holiday shopping early. Browse a variety of hand-made alpaca fleece products, including scarves, hats and gloves, all made in the USA.
No reservations are required. Please leave pets at home–no dogs will be permitted on the farm.

Lug-a-Jug 6K
2017-09-30 09:00 - 14:00
The Lug-a-Jug 6K event is a chance to learn about clean water in Africa while raising money for United Solar Initiative (USI), a nonprofit that brings clean water to communities in Africa. The second annual 6K is at Southern Community Park in Chapel Hill from 9 AM to 2 PM on September 30.
USI believes that clean water is a basic human right and that together we can end the water crisis in our lifetime. USI empowers developing communities worldwide through solar energy solutions. Over the past year, they have been working with World Vision to solarize water pumps throughout villages in Ghana to make clean water more accessible. In addition, USI trained dozens of World Vision staff in various African countries on solar pumping systems and increased their local capacity to maintain them.
In addition to raising funds, the Lug-a-Jug 6K raises awareness by simulating what women and children do in Africa every day just to get water: they walk around 6K to get it. Lug-a-Jug participants sign up in teams of three to seven people and carry an empty jug for the first three kilometers. At the midway point, volunteers will fill up the jug from a creek, and teams will try and carry the filled jug back to the finish line. It’s a fun, educational, and interactive event!
