Starting a Slow Money Investment Club
Slow Money is a movement to
organize investors and donors to steer new sources of capital to small food
enterprises, organic farms, and local food systems. Slow Money takes its name from the Slow Food
movement and aims to develop the relationship between capital markets and
place, including social capital and soil fertility. We've started a Slow Money Investment Club in
Omaha called "LET'S EAT INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC." As of January 2015, we have 12 members and
have raised $60,000. We'll share what we
have learned so far and learn from any comments or suggestions the audience
cares to contribute.
About: Jack Round - Jack has a finance and
accounting background & is interested in re-localizing our economy as much
as possible. He is a member of
Transition Omaha, the Omaha Time Exchange, & the LET'S EAT INVESTMENT
GROUP, LLC (inspired by Slow Money).

Top Bar Bee Hives II
A second level
breakout session on Top Bar Bee Hives. A top-bar
hive is a single-storey frameless beehive in which the comb hangs from removable bars. Hives that have frames or
that use honey chambers in summer but which use similar management principles
as regular top-bar hives are sometimes also referred to as top-bar hives.
Top-bar hives are rectangular in shape and are typically more than twice as
wide as multi-story framed hives commonly found in English speaking countries.
Top-bar hives are usually not portable, and allow for beekeeping methods that
interfere very little with the colony.
