www.quillisacut.com
During weeklong retreats, participants will milk goats, make cheese, help care for farm animals, transplant vegetables, and harvest produce from the gardens. Visits to neighboring organic farms and presentations about honeybees, grass-fed meats, composting, organic labeling standards, genetically modified foods and globalization round out the experience as students gain an understanding of the implications of buying local and with the seasons. Each day, students will work with a chef to prepare lunch and dinner using only ingredients from the garden and products from local farms. Dinner is a culmination of the day's work--a time to feast on the bounty of the farm, reflect on the discussions of the day, and build community around the table. Retreat participants will stay in their new farm school, with bunkhouse-style lodging and a professional kitchen. Multiple retreats are offered throughout the summer. For applications to attend any of the sessions, contact:
Rick and Lora Lea Misterly 2409 Pleasant Valley Rd. Rice, WA 99167

Offshore Aquaculture in the Pacific Northwest: Opportunities and Challenges
Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon State University, Newport, Oregon.
September 9 – 10th 2008
Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center is hosting a two-day forum that will explore the feasibility of developing offshore aquaculture programs in the Pacific Northwest.Chris Langdon, an OSU professor at the Hatfield Marine Science Center, is coordinating the forum. He says the event is designed to be informational and will explore the potential rewards as well as the downsides of offshore aquaculture in this region.
“Global population is estimated to increase by 50 percent in the next 40-50 years and commercial fish stocks around the world are at or above sustainable harvest levels,” Langdon said. “We need to explore other avenues of seafood production if we are going to maintain current levels of per capita consumption. However, expansion of offshore aquaculture in the United States would require a strong regulatory framework with environmental safeguards to protect natural resources and ensure consumer safety,” he added. “In addition, aquaculture activities need to be sensitive to society’s values and economic priorities.”
Speakers at the forum include regulators, community leaders, aquaculture industry representatives, fishing industry representatives, economists and scientists. Among the topics: environmental, economic, biological and management issues, food safety, siting and engineering challenges, potential business models, and fish and shellfish species suitable for the Pacific Northwest.The forum, which is sponsored by numerous federal and state agencies as well as private foundations, is limited to 125 participants.
Information about the program is available online at http://oregonstate.edu/conferences/aquaculture2008/
Open registration begins on July 15th.

11th International Conference on Shellfish Restoration
Charleston, South Carolina.
http://www.scseagrant.org/Content/?cid=297
The meeting will provide an opportunity for resource managers, shellfish farmers, community activists, historians, and anthropologists to exchange ideas and information which will help us restore molluscan shellfish populations while improving water quality and the environmental health of our estuarine and coastal systems. Shellfish restoration is of international concern and this meeting attracts participants from many other nations, spawning similar meetings in Canada, Ireland, France, and most recently, in Vlissingen, The Netherlands.
This year’s meeting will highlight the role shellfish have played in the development of society, ranging from the coastal tribal nations in the U.S. to the Maori in New Zealand, from the early settlers in Brittany to Canada’s First Nations. We expect presentations on the current role of shellfish in society and how that relates to community stewardship and education. Speakers will discuss a range of approaches to restoring coastal ecosystems, covering topics such as habitat quality assessment and restoration, shellfish farming, stock enhancement, watershed management, and habitat remediation. More than 200 professionals representing 14 countries attended the ICSR ’06 conference in the United States, and organizers expect a similar attendance in 2008.
The conference is planned for November 19–22, 2008, at the DoubleTree Guest Suites in Charleston, South Carolina, and will consist of invited and contributed oral and poster presentations, sessions, and workshops. The mornings will feature internationally recognized plenary speakers, and the afternoons will feature concurrent sessions organized around theme areas. The conference hotel is located next to the historic market area in downtown Charleston, and the schedule will feature lengthy breaks, lunches, and social events to allow for extensive social interaction and collaborations. Please bookmark this page as it will be updated with more details about ICSR ’08.
