Eberwhite Kids’ Courier now online
Zoe Crane has published her first issue on our site. We hope to see future editions as well as the back issues soon under Eberwhite Kids’ Courier
Selma gets national media attention
ok, well it was not exactly CNN or the New York Times, but, it is out in the webisphere for any who want to hear. Sunday night I recorded a live podcast with Carol Banker of homegrown. Carol has Michigan roots and was in town for Diner for a Day. She recorded John Roos on the 15th and followed up on the 22nd exploring Lisa and my efforts on the fundraisers, our SELMA organization and other localization issues. Listen (episode 15, I can’t seem to get the embed to work here on our site) at talkshoe or download at the itunes store.
Selma Cafe – open this Friday (Feb. 20th) 6:30 – 10:00am
For those of you who haven’t yet heard, we had 160 of our community over for breakfast Sunday. Titled “Diner for a Day” we brought in a little over $2500 to support local growers and producers, Chris Bedford Films and a future edible schoolyard project (hopefully in our neighborhood!)
kickin' it out
Well, the long and the short of it is, we had way too much fun (and we have a bunch of bacon and jam left over!). So what better way to kick off the morning of my 50th birthday than to do it all over again. Selma Cafe is envisioned as a local foods breakfast salon. Come by and have breakfast or just a cup of coffee. Eat foods from our watershed. Talk with others about how we can improve on and build a local food economy that will nourish us.
Johnny Roos will be back fryin’ up the eggs. You can have the american-style version again (potatoes, bacon, toast) as well as a juevos mejicanos style (with chorizo, beans and tortillas). Lisa will once again provide the crazy delicious waffles and granola. RoosRoast coffee will share the menu with Arbor Teas, Almar Orchards organic cider and Tantre Farms raw milk.
The Cafe Store will be stocked with coffe and tea, jam and bread, local eggs, waffle mix and granola and Diner for a Day T-shirts.
