[perchie.girl]

Greetings friend of local healthy food!You have a vision for creating a healthy and sustainable San Diego! As an integral part of San Diego's local food community YOU are invited to participate in and support a local food event called the ‘March for Healthy Food’ on May 25th at 11:00 AM. This event has arisen from members our San Diego community who have a passion for local healthy food and are concerned about the current situations in the world regarding genetically modified organisms (GMO’s) and the harmful effects they are having on people and the planet.

The ‘March for Healthy Food’ is a local component of the global ‘March Against Monsanto’ happening in countries all around the world at the same time on this day. We are focusing on solutions, education, inspiration and positive actions we want to take together as a community to create the most healthy and sustainable local food system possible. This event is about bringing together all of the individuals and organizations in San Diego that are passionate about local healthy food, sharing information, teaching one another and inspiring our community to take positive action to support our local food movement.

The march is beginning at 11:00 AM in Balboa Park... will continue to the Little Italy Farmers Market... and then Amici Park at 1:00 PM (2 blocks from the market / W Date & State St). Here at the park we will be having a commUNITY potluck with ingredients from the market and an education/inspiration exchange. We invite you, your organization and your network of healthy food supporters to join us! We will have a microphone and speakers so local organizations and individuals can share what they are doing in our community and how people can get involved with their projects. Please bring literature, flyers and education to share... please feel free to set up a pop-up table for your organization/business and promote what you are doing.

We will be inviting the press so there will be media coverage that can provide great exposure for your organization.This event is a celebration being creating by the commUNITY of San Diego, there is no one organization or group organizing this... this is a community effort to support one another and inspire one another with new ideas and creative solutions that will lead to amazing, local healthy food for everyone in San Diego! Let’s inspire other communities all around the world as we lead this ‘March for Healthy Food’!

I have a three-week old (this Thursday) cream legbar cockerel that is free to BYCers in San Diego. He was hatched from Phage's eggs. He is cute and healthy but I can't have roosters as I live inside city limits. Please PM me if interested.

After a few weeks of thinking, I think I only want to keep my bantams. Would there be any interest in two f2 bresse/broiler mix girls (just started laying) and a gorgeous silver penciled rock cockerel to make some fast growing yummy in your tummy chickens? And it looks like I have a pair of giant buff cochins for free, they're almost fully feathered out.

I know the feeling. We're going to start thinning out the flock. W have 46 hens/roos and counting. They are going through feed like crazy and it is getting expensive. Rhode Island Reds, White Leg horns, Ameracaunas $12 each if interested
