Cal Poly Organic Farm to host World Neighbor's Steve Sherwood: SAT 11/18

Come spend the day with STEPHEN SHERWOOD, Andes Area Representative of World Neighbors on Saturday, November 18 @ 9 a.m. at the Cal Poly Organic Farm!

Born in Richmond, Virginia and reared in the Philadelphia area, Steve has spent the last 20 years supporting rural development efforts in Central and South America.  Presently, he resides in Quito, Ecuador, where he is the Andes Area Representative for the grassroots development organization World Neighbors, where his tasks include technical, process design, and advocacy support to World Neighbor's people-centered community health and sustainable agriculture initiatives in Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador.

We will tour the Organic Farm and discuss Stephen Sherwood's work with World Neighbors. Come and ask questions and hear about sustainable agriculture both here and abroad.

DIRECTIONS to the ORGANIC FARM:  Take the Highland Drive entrance into Cal Poly from Route 1.  At your first cross street, turn left onto Mount Bishop Road.   After about 1/4 mile, the road veers to the left.  Bare RIGHT onto the dirt road to the right of the small Vet clinic.  Go about 1/2 mile (past the Rodeo Unit) straight up to the top of the hill.  The Student Experimental Farm is on the right, behind the silver fence.

Please do not hesitate to reply to this e-mail with any questions that you might have.
