The Bloomington Community Orchard won the Edy's grant, and we're at it again!
We now have a chance at a $20,000 grant from Tom’s of Maine to hire an intern, build an eco-friendly shed, create wheelchair-accessible pathways, buy tools, and plant lots more fruit trees.
Please vote for the Orchard once per day from Aug. 3 to Sept. 10 at http://www.tomsofmaine.com/community-involvement/living-well/finalists-overview/poll?id *Please note that if multiple people are voting from a single computer, you will need to vote from different browsers.*
Also, people can vote for us from anywhere in the world, so please spread this message far and wide!
Here's to fruit for all!

October 1st deadline for Approved Good Husbandry Grants
May this find you well and be of some use to those working with animals for food. May all animals be cared for.
ANIMAL WELFARE APPROVED GOOD HUSBANDRY GRANTS 2010
The deadline is October 1, 2010 to get in your application for a Good Husbandry grant for 2010-2011 grant season. This grant cycle will focus on improving farm animal welfare through expanding genetics adapted for outdoor production, increasing outdoor access, and maximizing welfare at slaughter. Projects that fall outside these area, but increase animal welfare will also be considered. Examples of projects that were funded in 2009 include: portable shelter for calves on pasture, mobile feeding equipment and breeding stock adapted for pasture-and range-based management. Detailed guidelines and a grant application are available on their website at www.AnimalWelfareApproved.org, or calling (202)546-5292.
Indiana’s Milton Frey Farm in Paoli was recently accepted into the Animal Welfare Approved program. Animal Welfare Approved is the only free and independent certification that means healthy, safe, environmentally responsible and humanely raised outdoors on a family farm.
