every thursday in Cottage Grove, the nearest town to Aprovecho, theres a really cool gathering called "bread club". its a small farmers market inside a used book store, where local farmers and hobbyists sell hand made soap, fresh veggies, baked goods, candies, basically anything that they like making at home from local goods. what started it all of was a local man who made REALLY GOOD bread, thus the name bread club, and now its the communities main weekly social event. the bread has become so popular that the original bread guy only comes with 80 loaves once a month, so a friend and i went down to town to snag ourselves some legendary loaves. they were ofcourse, completely amazing, but what im more into is the "blackmarket" community supported goods sales system that has been born by the bread. i love that this small community of back-to-the-land-ers, permaculturists, farmers and artisans have developed this cool market. yay for bread club.
