Julian Scanlon will discuss koji's role in the soil food web for its potential to help make nutrients available to plants, and for soil remediation. Koji is also an incredible tool to help prevent food waste and to process summer's abundance. It can accelerate vinegars and lacto-fermentation, and with it, you can make miso out of almost any legume and vegetable. In addition, Angela McDermott of Small Producers Initiative, one of the co-sponsors of the Southern Family Farms & Food Systems Conference, will do a short talk on this exciting and informative conference coming up from August 3rd through the 6th in San Marcos. Join us early for "Maker's Hour" at 6 where we'll have a hands-on session on seed starting to help us get ready for our fall gardens. Don't forget to bring seeds and plants to swap afterwards and if you can't make it in person, we will also be streaming the event via YouTube and zoom.
