Art+Agriculture #2 update
Monday, April 11, 2011 at 10:39AM Our "Urban Farming and Food Justice" edition of Art+Agriculture (April 28 at Washington Hall) took an interesting turn these past couple weeks when Novella Carpenter first got assailed by the city of Oakland for not having the proper permits (nevermind that they had told her in the first place which ones she did and didn't need).
Then, after news coverage about that, the city told her she couldn't grow swiss chard on her lot. She needed more permits because she was selling her produce.
It's different in Oakland for sure.
Carpenter, who started backyard farming with bees on Beacon Hill, will talk about these issues and more at Art+Agriculture. Join her, performer okanomodé, Rev. Robert Jeffrey, Eddie Hill, and more fabulous guests on April 28th at Washington Hall.
