A Quarry resident's new podcast, two upcoming work parties, and more!
Warm spring weather is here, if you ignore the torrents of rain…which still means loads of events around the corner! (Be prepared for two newsletters in April.) Before March is over, come on over this Friday to see our March Artist in Residence Urks showcasing selected readings from “Food Play”, then on Sunday, join us for a quick work party to rebuild the chicken pen. Another work party to follow in April. Many cool announcements as well, so that’s a section also worth a read.
Lots of events are free to attend, and we will mention if there are any costs to admittance. Please refrain from bringing your dogs, unless they are service animals.

Join us for a work party, and the Mother of Chickens will gratefully serve attendees lunch afterwards.

May 17th The 2nd mutual aid concert hosted at the quarry. Last time we had a collection of artists led by loveli and his crew. From folk singers to electronic djs. It was 5 hours of connection, beautiful music and dancing. Album still available for purchase.
May 18th Another foraging walk with expert Zachary Robertson! Last time, we focused on plants that can be collected during the fall like burdock root, but now it’s time for spring greens. Salad-making, anyone? The brave among us tried some slugs…but what will be in store for the adventurous - ants?

Zeo Boekbinder, LAQ’s newest long-term resident, just launched a podcast that they’ve been working on for FIVE years about alternatives to the criminal legal system. Each episode interviews people who have navigated the court and prison system and sought a different kind of justice, like Restorative Justice or Navajo Peacemaking. These are personal and powerful stories about accountability, forgiveness, and healing from extraordinary violence. The preview is live. Please check it out and subscribe/follow it on your podcast app.

Fun Growing Tip
If you cut your leeks with scissors, leaving their roots in the ground, they will replenish and grow back. Shown in photo: Our leek gardens have been growing back their fresh green tops for 3 years!
Have a Mesmerizing March!
