	For multi-day workshops, we typically have dinner catered by local restaurants. However, since we're in an isolated area, the number of restaurants available and the quality of the food may not be what you're used to. There are only 3 restaurants in the area that do catering: a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, and a Subway. Another option is for us to provide the ingredients and allow participants to self-organize dinner preparation (which means some of you would volunteer to cook for the group). Upon registration, we survey the group to find out what is the preferred option.		For multi-day workshops, we typically have dinner catered by local restaurants.

If not, please bring the sturdiest boots/shoes you have.		You are welcome to bring your own tools if you wish to - there is no such thing as too many tools.

UPDATE: The HabLab is now full for this workshop.

Accommodations

For participants who are traveling - you may secure a hotel in Cameron, Missouri [https://www.google.com/search?q=cameron%20mo%20hotels&rct=j] (15 miles away). Please note that there is no public transportation between Cameron and Factor e Farm and that we cannot pick you up or drop you off on a daily basis during the workshop. Car rentals are available at the KCI airport.

We have a shared-room dorm on site - HabLab. There is no extra cost for staying at the dorm and spots are filled on a "first come, first served" basis. Please note that this is a very rudimentary earth building and our accommodations are rough. The dorm rooms may be noisy due to late night conversations by participants. Factor e Farm is an experimental facility that is permanently under construction, so please gauge your expectations accordingly. If you want a more comfortable stay, we recommend that you stay in a hotel.

We also have primitive camping on site which includes a composting toilet. Showers and a bathroom are located in the HabLab and there is a kitchen for basic food preparation.

Transportation

The only transportation to our site is by car, as there is no public transportation in the area. The nearest airport is Kansas City International (MCI), about 1:15 hours away from Factor e Farm. FeF is located in a rural zone and there is no public transportation outside of long-distance buses stopping in Cameron. We do not offer airport transportation, though we may be able to coordinate a ride with other workshop participants and collaborators. Car rentals are available at the KCI airport.

If not, please bring the sturdiest boots/shoes you have.

This being Missouri, the weather is highly unpredictable. It could be hot, it could be cold, it could rain - often all 3 on the same day. Bring clothes for all eventualities and weather. It can also get quite muddy when it rains, so sturdy boots are recommended.

If you plan to stay on site, please also bring a sleeping bag and a bath towel. If you're staying in the HabLab, we have fitted sheets, pillows and pillow cases available - but you may want to bring your own pillow if that's something that is important to you. If you're camping, please pack everything you'd normally pack for a camping trip.
