THU, OCT 9 – GOAT CHEESE COOKING DEMO WITH THE EXEC CHEF OF EDGAR’S GRILL AT THE EVANS TOWNE FARMERS MARKET. It’s no secret: Trail Ridge Farm goat cheese is famously addictive. Come learn how to make it even better (as if that were possible) with Chef Lonnie. Starts at 4:30pm.

SAT, OCT 25 – CLEAN UP THE BRANCH-ES WITH THE BENDERDINKER. With exactly six months left til Dinker time, there’s some cleaning up to do along Betty’s Branch to get it ready for April! Bring your kayak or small motor boat, pack up a cooler, find your work gloves and maybe a handsaw or clippers. We’ll make it a day on the water! Think tailgating, but better. Starts at 9am. Big love to Kristina of the BenderDinker and to Larry of Broadway Tackle for making it all happen. The BenderDinker helps support our educational programs at ALG year-round.

SUN, NOV 2 – CROP MOB AT CLYDE’S FRESH PRODUCE FARM IN GROVETOWN. Email kim@augustalocallygrown.org for a volunteer afternoon on a beautiful local farm. Share a simple farm meal afterwards. Order you free meal ticket through ALG on-line!
