    Plant Yourself Podcast 224: Will Bonsall HOWARD: Will Bonsall, welcome to the Plant Yourself Podcast! WILL: Hi Howard, it’s good to be here. Greetings to everyone. HOWARD: Yeah, so I wanted to begin by just asking you to tell us your story. This is actually our second time recording. I had some technical difficulties, and I realized as I was biking from my little shed to a different office that the reason I wanted you to tell that story in particular is that your concepts and ideas and things you put together seemed to me so creative. They’re so far beyond anything that I thought about these topics that I’d thought about for a long time that I was really interested in what were the influences that allowed you to see things from such a broad perspective. Tell us how you got to where you are now. WILL: Yeah, incidentally, that tends to be how I think for better or worse. I tend to be a great big-picture visionary sort of thing and not so good at nuts and bolts and details, and linking them together is often a problem for me. Well, when I was a teenager and first left home to… went away from home, my first job was in a mining business. I worked for a couple of mining companies prospecting for copper, lead, and zinc and so on, and it got old pretty fast. I decided I didn’t wanna have anything to do with it. I decided I was more interested in something that involved more recycling and was a little more sustainable.

    Winter, 1999-2000 Vol. 2, No. 43 Publication of the Northeast Organic Farming Association ISSN 1077-2294 Save August 11-13 for 2000 NOFA Summer Conference by Dre Rawlings The Summer Conference Committee-2000 had its’ first planning meeting on October 7th. As your feedback is always important to us, we spent a large part of the evening going through the evaluations. We deliberated some reoccurring issues, and did some preliminary brainstorming for possible solutions. Hot topics that we hope to address are more porta potties for the campers, more workshops for the entire family, the issue of loud children in work- shops and how to deal with them, and more exciting workshops for the 11-12 year olds so they don’t try to defect to the teen conference. We may well move the contradance to Friday night, and request speak- ers for the back of the auditorium on keynote night. For the fair we would like to add more adult games (like hammering skills, cross cut sawing, wood splitting, etc, get rid of the non-biodegradable balloons, make sure our face painting is done with only natural paints, and have two megaphones for the announcers. We will for sure bring back the dunk tank, but may charge more so we don’t lose money on it. We will ask Hampshire to reorganize photo by Jack Kittredge the line system in the food line, make sure the water Participants enjoy a relaxed outdoor workshop at 1999 Conference isn’t chlorinated for NOFA Nibbles, organize the bigger on the name tags, have tags that stick on the There is also still time until the end of the year to program book a bit differently, and put a map in it.

    Fall 1999 Vol. 2, No. 42 Publication of the Northeast Organic Farming Association ISSN 1077-2294 NOFA Holds Its 25th Annual Summer Conference and Celebration of Rural Life by Julie Rawson It is somehow auspicious when one of the worst droughts of the century takes a break and lets the heaven flow forth on the weekend of the NOFA Conference. And we were all happy, even those who slept outside in it and had very wet tents! This is the second time in the past 8 or so years when a drought period ended on the weekend of the conference. The last time, folks were elated also. Almost 1200 people attended this year’s confer- ence, 532 from Massachusetts (378 of whom were NOFA members), 164 from NY (145 members), 113 from CT (97 members), 83 from VT (70 members), 55 from NH (43 members), 43 from NJ (35 members), and 24 from RI (all members). In addition we got 16 from Maine, 13 from Pennsyl- vania, and scattered attendees from Michigan, Kentucky, Florida, the Virgin Islands, and one farm intern from Sweden. Though it did rain for large parts of the weekend, it cleared off and was beautiful for this year’s very spirited fair.
