St. Patrick’s Day Party
Living Web Farms Presents Growing Ginger and Turmeric in WNC

Tuesday Early Jam
Tuesday Night Funk Jam
Public historians Catherine Amos and Katherine Calhoun Cutshall will present a lecture, “You Have to Start a Thing” – Early Women in N.C. Governance, at noon on Tuesday, March 17, in the Highsmith Student Union Mountain Suites. This event, part of UNC Asheville’s observance of Women’s History Month, is free and open to everyone.
About the lecture
In 1894, Asheville became the birthplace of the women’s suffrage movement in North Carolina when Helen Morris Lewis formed the Equal Suffrage Association of North Carolina, the first of its kind in the state. This talk will explore how Helen Morris Lewis, Lillian Exum Clement Stafford, and Leah Arcouet Chiles could all be viewed as iterations of an emerging figure that was emblematic of this zeitgeist of women’s advancement–The New Woman.
These women were elected to public offices that previously had been exclusively held by men, before most of the women had even obtained the right to vote. Their political and public success did not exist in a vacuum, however. Through the lens of so-called “New Women” like Helen Morris Lewis, Lillian Exum Clement, and Leah Arcouet Chiles, this presentation will explore the idea of Asheville and Buncombe County as an environment that produced progressive and professional women, and the suffrage movement in North Carolina.
Come shop with us on Tuesday, March 17th from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. for a FUN St. Paddy’s celebration at vineyard vines at Asheville Outlets. Snacks, drinks, St. Paddy’s coloring sheets, PLUS wear green and get a free GREEN vineyard vines coozie! Visit ShopAshevilleOutlets.com for more information. Free and open to the public.

Growing Ginger and Turmeric in WNC for Food and Medicine
Ginger and Turmeric are popular tropical food crops, with many culinary and medicinal uses. While most ginger and turmeric is usually imported, these crops can be grown in temperate regions successfully. On March 17th, 2020, Living Web Farms presents a workshop on organic production of ginger and turmeric in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
Mills River, NC— John Clark and Karen Hurtubise started out in berry production at their farm in Brasstown North Carolina, but after discovering ginger and turmeric, their farming changed dramatically. “We have been so surprised at how well these tropical plants grow here in Appalachia, right in the field, without the use of a greenhouse,” Hurtubise says. In addition to farming, Hurtubise is the gardener in residence at the John C. Campbell Folk School. “Ginger and Turmeric production in this region is a huge opportunity for people. My mission is to share what we’ve learned and let people run with the possibilities.”
Free event and parking. More Info: HistoryComesAlive.org or 864-244-1499
Join an audience that loves talking back to history to discuss Rosa Parks – with Teresa Cosby, Furman University Associate Professor of Politics & International Affairs.
Sometimes when the status quo needs to be shaken up, it is necessary to take a stand. Other times, one must courageously take a seat. Rosa Parks is best known for being arrested for sitting in the wrong bus seat. But Parks was not an apolitical, middle-aged lady whose fatigue kept her seated. Hers was an act that radically challenged America to reinvent itself.
This event is NOT a costumed performance. Rosa Parks will be performed by Becky Stone in the Chautauqua History Comes Alive Festival (June 12 – 21.)
EVERY Tuesday at Asheville Music Hall! Tuesday Night Funk Jam has been a huge part of Asheville’s vibrant music scene since 2008 and is #Asheville’s hottest weekly concert. Tuesday Night Funk Jam is programmed and orchestrated by an evolved Legendary House Band with trombonist Derrick Lee Johnson at the helm. At 10PM sharp, the Legendary House Band kicks off the night

Due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus, we are implementing the following safeguards to protect our senior clients as well as our volunteers.
We are utilizing a no-contact delivery protocol. We have asked volunteers to place meals in bags to cut down on the passing of germs. Volunteers should place meals in a bag, knock on the door or ring the doorbell, and hang the meals on a handle at the door. In addition, volunteers should call clients that have difficulty in getting to the door right away, to let them know their meal is at the door. As for seniors that cannot come to the door, we would like to leave meals hanging inside of the door for you, but we can discuss that case by case.
We have disposable gloves and plastic bags available for volunteers upon request.
While this pandemic is ever-changing, we will continue to assess the situation daily and ensure that we are following all suggested protocols while guaranteeing the homebound in our community remain safe, healthy and fed.
If you should have any questions or concerns, please call us at 828-253-5286.
