Well, we're not barn raising quite yet, but we're getting close with our next mob! On August 29th, we'll be heading east of the city (about 20 minutes past Burge) to Tewksbury Farms where we'll be building greenhouses! I know we've got a lot of mobbers with some serious carpentry skills, and we're ready to see what you've got. Of course, no prior skill is necessary. No matter what you know how to do, just show up and you'll be able to add "greenhouse construction" to your list of life skills before we're done. Plus, Tewksbury is run in a traditional Amish style, so we may get to see some plow horse demonstrations and learn about a style of farming few of us have access to!

I'm not kidding when I tell you this mob's going to be a bit of a party. We know many of you wake up far earlier than you would want to on a Sunday to get to these farms and we're hoping for a 9AM start time on this one, which is why Tate at Tewksbury has very kindly offered for people to come and camp Sat. night if you'd like. We'll be sure to post more info and a sign up for that soon so you can make an evening of it - but don't y'all go getting all crazy now...we've got hard work to do on Sunday! We're giving the very generous Miller Union a break since they JUST fed our faces last weekend (be sure and congratulate them on being Atlanta Magazine's Restaurant of the Year) and instead Plow Point Farms have donated free range chicken and we're arranging for some gourmet sides. Does it get better than camping, delicious food and greenhouse construction? You bet it does! We haven't gotten confirmation just yet, but Tate is working his magic to see if we can't get a band to come play some tunes at lunch. It's gonna be a heck of a good time. You won't want to miss this one!

So, we'll send a reminder closer to the mob, but don't forget smart people things like sunscreen, water, boots, hat but also things you'll be likely to forget like plates, utensils, napkins etc. And this go around, if anyone has any cordless drills, saws or other helpful construction tools, we sure would appreciate if you'd bring them along. Be sure to label them!

This is the first time we're trying two larger mobs in one month, so show us you want us to keep it up by coming out to Buckhead, GA (no, not expensive one in midtown Atlanta) and helping our friend Farmer Tate get his greenhouses ready for fall! More on the camping situation soon!
