[ShareTompkins] FRI: Meeting to Save Ludgate Farms

[Shira Golding]

A friendly reminder about tomorrow evening's meeting...

MEETING TO SAVE LUDGATE FARMS
Friday, December 9, 7:30-9:00pm
Ludgate Farms, 1552 Hanshaw Road, Ithaca, NY

Since emailing everyone about my concern that Ludgate Farms is  
planning on closing, tons of people have expressed interest in keeping  
the business alive and all kinds of ideas have been suggested  
including turning the existing business into a worker-owned coop,  
getting a bunch of local nonprofits to invest as a group, or perhaps  
radically transforming Ludgate's into a community meeting space  
offering equipment for food preservation, garden plots, classes, etc.

We will be having a meeting to discuss all of these ideas and more  
with the current owners, the Quinn-Jacobs, and anyone interested in  
the future of Ludgate Farms as an ongoing contributor to our local  
food security.

Feel free to bring a drink or snack to share!

Please come if you are interested in getting involved in any way, even  
if you don't have a lot of time but just want to be part of the  
discussion.
