LizM - Site Moderator's Page

Welcome and Hello from Hyperlocavore!

Hey folks!

I am the creator and moderator of hyperlocavore! I am here to help you get in touch with like minded people who are hoping to set up a yard sharing arrangement, a group garden, a neighborhood produce exchange or a urban CSA of linked yards! We also want to support your efforts as a group via tools to organize, hold events, plan your gardens. So please join us and visit often!

After 25 years in the tech field as a web strategist for non-profits and user interface specialist, I’ve moved to the country. I am a farm nerd, and geek I must. I started Hyperlocavore - A Free Yard Sharing Community to encourage people to grow food with their friends, family and neighbors. It’s a social networked yard sharing community dedicated to help you build resilience in your neighborhood. I’m blogging here about the experience of building the site, helping communities and all the things I will be doing at the farm where I live in very rural Eastern Oregon.

If you are interested in hiring me for consulting work please take a look at my LinkedIn profile. I can help you with twitter design, web design, ning design, web strategy, online organizing and a long list of other projects to help you stay sassy in these tough times. I can sharpen your online presence, help you find your niche audience, improve your Google placement, drive traffic to your site, edit your blog posts and ensure you web presence highlights what makes you stand out. I am also available for writing assignments as well as general consulting on making your home or office sustainable. Get in touch if you are interested in talking about my services. I am focused on working with people and organizations that are serious about pushing back catastrophic climate change and building local resilience through thriving communities.

Remember - There's only two things that money can't buy, that's true love and homegrown tomatoes!

Here's an interview I did recently on aboutharvest.com.

If you have any suggestions for subject you would like me to tackle, please enter them in the suggestion box below!

Happy Growing!

Hey Liz .. good to be here. Feel like i´ve arrived at your place. So keen on encouraging people to grow their own food. Love people to experiment & try out their own ideas in the garden, really helps us get connected with the earth. Books are great, but nothing beats just jumping in and feeling it! Feel free to give me some pointers as to how i can get involved, listening to what other people are doing. Gav

I'm thinking The Omnivore's Dilemma, I've seen a bit of it, and it looks interesting.

Hi, Liz. Thanks so very much for putting this together.

I'd like very much to be able to click a button and add that my experience includes biodynamic agriculture a/k/a for brevity biodynamics. I've been growing organically for over 40 years, and IMHO biodynamics encompasses elements which take organic agriculture light-years ahead. Could you add this as a button or "freetext" option in experiences when one signs up?

Hi Liz,
thanks for a great concept and a great community! I'd love to offer my portable chicken coops to shared backyard gardens. What better way to add some personality to a shared garden than a small flock of hens? I'm also working on an educational program, offering chicken coops to schools along with a curriculum for children to learn about raising chickens and eggs.

Hi Liz,
what details do you need? I will be on today for most of the day on and off. I also have a question about adding my link to twitter. This might help to get more New Mexico traffic. Thanks sooo much for all you do :)

Fire at Soul Food Farm

Hey Folks!

If you are able please consider finding a way to help Soul Food Farm. They had a fire recently and could use some help to stay afloat. They are in Vacaville, CA. And provide lovely pasture fed chicken and eggs for their community. These guys are walking the talk.

I hope we can help!
