SUMMARY:2016 Slow Living Summit
DESCRIPTION:Food & Ag Entrepreneurship:\nHow to Succeed in Business by Slowing Down\nYes\, you read that correctly\, your eyes are not deceiving you. In the age of “accelerators” and “start ups” we want you to know that doing well and good includes taking a moment to slow down. \nThe 2016 Summit will be focused on explorations of key topics in food and agriculture entrepreneurship\, including business planning\, funding sources\, refining and pitching ideas\, ownership structures\, social impact\, collaboration\, food & ag business case studies. While exploring these and many other related topics\, the Summit is focused on the concept of Slow Business which means: reflecting upon failure for future success\, taking care of yourself as key for business\, and deepening community relationships as a part of good business. \n\n\n\n\nSpecifically\, we invite attendees to: \n\nEmbrace Failure as Your Teacher in Business: In our fast culture\, everyone is competing for the top spot to be seen as the most successful. We invite you to think differently about success and its risks in regards to doing well within your food or ag business. Additionally\, we want to share with you stories of success gained from failure.\nConnect Slowing Living & Being Present with Good Business: It is very common for entrepreneurs to forget about themselves in the middle of their business planning. While thinking about planning a sustainable food or ag business\, we want to help you make the connection between giving back to yourself\, your neighbors and your community as a key part of your business model. If you are not going well\, how can your business do well?\nRe-think Doing Business as Community & Relationship Building: We are not just talking partnership but good business and doing well requires a community. This is the very essence of Slow Living because there is no business without community.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs always\, the Summit takes the Slow approach to entrepreneurship. “Slow Living” embodies cooperation\, celebration\, respect\, purpose\, sustainability\, gratitude\, mindfulness\, and resilience. \nWho should come: farmers\, entrepreneurs\, students\, funders\, educators\, consultants\, concerned citizens. \nWhat it’s about: The sixth annual Summit focuses on entrepreneurship. Join us for in-depth explorations of key topics in food and agriculture entrepreneurship: business planning\, funding sources\, refining and pitching ideas\, ownership structures\, social impact\, collaboration\, food & ag business case studies. Speakers and session details will be posted on this site as they become available. \nWhat’s included: \n\nAdmission to plenary and breakout sessions\nConference guidebook\nReceptions on Thursday and Friday evenings\nAdmission to any other special events or after-hours activities\nContinental breakfasts and break refreshments on Thursday and Friday.\n\nFind more information and register here \nUse the offer code ‘SlowlySlowly2016’ for a 20% discount on registration.

SUMMARY:Earth Day Potluck and Seed Swap
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Earth Day\, come join us for an evening of sharing food and swapping seeds and plants! If you don’t have anything to swap\, that’s fine too. Come for the potluck and company! \n\nWe will also have a sign up sheet for anyone interested in sharing a skill at future skill share meet ups.\n\n\n \n\n\nWHAT TO BRING:\n\n Please bring a simple dish\, drink\, or snack to share potluck style. Eating utensils and plates will be provided.\nBring one more more items to swap. (If you plan to swap)\n\nSome item ideas: seeds (store bought or harvested)\, cuttings\, seedlings/starts\, seed potatoes\, succulents\, house plants\, etc. Other garden items are welcome too \nHOW IT WORKS: \n\nFor this swap you can trade an item your brought for another item that someone else brought: items are swapped 1-for-1.\nEach swapper sets what 1 item is: 1 pack of seeds\, 5 seed potatoes\, 1 bundle of cuttings\, 3 seedlings\, etc.\nNo haggling please. We want this to be a fair and friendly swap for all! Please avoid thinking of swapped items in terms of monitory value. Instead the items swapped should be something you and your swapping partner value for what it is rather than how much it’s worth in dollars.\nEveryone gets a name tag so we can meet each other and also know who made what. \nLabels will be provided for you to label your item with:\n1. The name of the item(s) you are swapping.\n2. The name of the person who made the item (you).\n3. Notes regarding the item (planting instructions\, etc).\n\nEach item label will also have a section for “bids”.\nWhen the swap begins\, everyone will place their item bids. You may place 3 bids per item you’ve brought to swap.\n When the bids are all in\, it’s time to swap! Chat with each other. Ask if the maker of the item you’ve bid on is interested in swapping for the item you’ve brought. Be polite and have fun!\n This will probably end up going freestyle\, but these rules are a good guide to start\, making sure everyone has a good time\, meets some new folks\, and maybe learns something new.\n\nPLEASE NOTE: The ‘bid cards’ are only a starting place\, you do not have to swap with people on your cards or ones you’ve signed up for- Please make sure each swap it done FACE TO FACE with the other person agreeing to the swap!\n\n Most important of all: Have fun!!\n\nYou can RSVP here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1673622526245181/
