Hello Lovely IUH newsletter recipients!
\nPlease join me at my open house this coming Sunday<\/p>\n
May 16 1-6pm
\n839 60th Street
\nOakland
\n1 block west of MLK.<\/p>\n
Some things to know:
\nThis is an opportunity to see my private garden & urban farm, it is the place that I spend my time to relax, rejuvenate and relate with beings other than human. Traditionally my open houses were annual gatherings for my friends, but since I started the IUH, I have opened my home-space to the wider public. So please be aware than when you come, you are not visiting “The Institute of Urban Homesteading” but the home & garden of founder & director, Ruby Blume. It is rare that I have so many visitors at once so I ask your respect of the space and especially the plants and animals in it. All that said, I wish for you to feel welcome and at home!<\/p>\n
If you can bring an offering of snacks, drinks, or a small donation, it will greatly enhance the event and create a culture of sharing. There will be homebrewed beer, lacto-fermented sodas (while they last), goat milk ice cream (perhaps just enough for everyone to have a spoonful, since it is baby goat season and much milk is going to the babies), fresh baked bread with homemade butter and a few other goodies available for enjoyment on a donation basis.<\/p>\n
If you can help out with greeting, manning the goodie table and helping people the people flow, please let me know, I need help! If you have a guitar and would like to play some music under the apple tree, that would also be lovely!<\/p>\n
And here is the schedule of events. Sadly the puppet show has been canceled but we still have great mini-workshops and ice cream making!<\/p>\n
Mini Workshops (suggested donation $5-10, no one turned away)
\n1:30 pm Quick Bread with Lee Sonko (20 minute segments at 1:30 & 2:30, bread comes out at 3:30)
\n<\/strong>2pm Micro-Farming: Raising Quail for eggs & meat with K.Ruby Blume
\n3 pm Quick Bread with Lee Sonko (20 minutes segments at 3 & 4, bread comes out at 5pm)
\n<\/strong>3:30 Goat Milk Ice-Cream Making with Jeannie & Frankie<\/p>\nTours will happen on an informal basis.
\nSelf-guided tour available at the front gate.<\/p>\n
Donations go to support our scholarship fund and, if there are enough funds to support a free event or two.
\nIf you wish to make a larger donation, it is tax deductible, please inquire to have a letter sent to you for your tax purposes.
\nLook forward to seeing you!

I’ll be teaching a class I’m calling “Quick Bread” this Sunday at the home of the founder of the Institute for Urban Homesteading. It’s not about quickbreads but about making a good, regular loaf of bread as fast as possible. There are all manner of very affordable one-off classes at IUH.
