One of Stone Soup Gardens favorite events of the year is our chicken cuddling fest at the Seattle Tilth May Plant Sale. It's a wonderful time to bring out the ladies for a little TLC, and introduce them to a burgeoning community of urban farmers. This year was particularly wonderful, as the weather was sunny, we had lots of friends old and new to talk with, and as usual, everyone left with a garden full of deliciousness that benefits Seattle Tilth and gardens city-wide. Thank you Seattle Tilth for all that you do, and thanks to all that came by for a cuddle! We had a wonderful time at Harvest Fair! The weather was awesome, the people were bountiful, and our birds were very busy being held and greeted by the fair goers. What a wonderful way to celebrate harvest time. Seattle Tilth is a great organization and has a knack for bringing the Seattle community together. If you were able to stop by our booth at the harvest fair, thanks for coming out! If not, we hope to see you next year. It's that fabulous time of year again! The chickens and I always look forward to the Harvest Fair. It is such a pleasure to connect with our great community of friends, and to meet new faces! Stop by our booth, say hello, and hold a chicken!  After a robust day on Friday of finishing touches for our yard and chicken coop, we were ready to roll for the 10am start time of the Seattle Tilth Chicken Coop and Urban Farm Tour. It was an unusual 90 degree day on Saturday, but Stone Soup Gardens had a wonderful turn out! We were leading tour groups through the garden and coop all day. It was great to talk permaculture with so many different folks, and to have them be so engaged with the urban farm aesthetic. A big thank you to the Tilth team who puts the event on every year. It's a fun event to be a part of, and an exciting way to introduce people to new and old ideas about gardening, permaculture, and chickens. Did you miss the tour?
