[FLPERMACULTURE] Forest Harvest Fair

[Steve Gabriel]

It used to be that forests were cleared to make way for productive 
farmland. Now, no longer--at least not as a matter of course. In 
cooperation with Cornell Department of Horticulture, Mann Library 
invites you to a *Forest Harvest Fair*/ /exploring the gourmet foods, 
energy boosters and other surprising fruits of sustainable forest 
farming.
