Happy new year everyone! We are officially consolidating our Facebook groups for IRC's community food projects into one IRC MAKE Projects. This will be the last post.

We're also gearing up for more regular content with behind the scenes stories, participant voices and information about food, culture and sustainability. You'll still get all your gorgeous FarmWorks farm photos, plus a lot more!
