>>EVENT FORUM

Meanwhile, post your questions and ideas for the event at the Farm Hack Ithaca Forum.  This is where you can suggest ideas for the design charrette, in which farmers and allies will brainstorm new or improved farm tools and systems.  Have an idea for a tool?  Have a problem that needs solving?  Post it to the forum ahead of time so that other event participants can think about it beforehand.

>>HOW TO GET THERE

The FROG Common House at Ecovillage at Ithaca will be our home base for the event. The Groundswell Incubator is on the same land as Ecovillage, so you will follow the same directions to get there as well.  

Directions to EcoVillage: EcoVillage is 2 miles west of  downtown Ithaca, NY.  Take Route 79 West and turn left onto Rachel Carson Way, our entry road.  Please park in the Visitors Parking Area near the FROG Common House. Click here to get a google map and directions from downtown Ithaca to EVI.
