Feb 20
Keeseville, NY: Organizational meeting
of the Au Sable Valley Grange's Champlain Valley Food-shed Coalition.
7:00 PM at the Grange. Beth Spaugh will present a topical presentation.
Any individual interested in local food systems and sustainable food
issues is encouraged to attend.
Champlain Valley Sustainable Farmers and Organic Gardeners are collaborating
with local consumers and small scale food processors to establish a
coalition of individuals interested in building and supporting a local
food system that promotes healthy food choices and a healthy local economy.
The organization will support more formal organizations such a Essex
County's Adirondack Harvest by building a grassroots network of local
consumers, gardeners, small scale alternative farmers, farmers transitioning
to organics and sustainable methods, interested consumers and small
scale processors. The group plans to meet monthly to discuss related
topics, share information, present lectures, and build community ties.
Adirondack Harvest has offered technical and financial support for
speakers, and the Au Sable Valley Grange will provide support for the
group's efforts by hosting the meeting site and organizing the events
and event publicity. Even though Grange membership is open to rural
people from all walks of life the Grange has supported farm groups as
part of its historical mission. The Coalition's goals are also consistent
with the Au Sable Valley Grange mission, which is to rebuild the integrity
of rural places by building strong community ties.
The public is invited and the Grange especially encourages those individuals
who feel they are under informed on this subject, but are interested
in finding out more, to attend, listen, and if willing take part in
the conversation. The Grange welcomes anyone who wishes to attend these
meetings.

Allentown, PA: "Food For Thought". A Berks County
farmer whose family has farmed in this region for nearly 300 years will
be speaking about "Food For Thought", Thursday, May 15, 2003,
7pm, at the Lehigh County Senior Center, 1633 Elm Street, Allentown.
Brian Moyer, who with wife Holley is owner and operator of Green Haven
Farm, is working in hopes of breaking through the invisible wall that
has been erected between farmers and consumers over the last 50 years.
In his presentation, Brian will address many of the myths and misunderstandings
that have been created as a barrier between farmers and other residents.
He will also identify issues and concerns that we share to help break
down the barriers and begin to build the kind of food system that benefits
our community; a local food system.
Brian's goal is to begin a dialogue with producers and consumers so
we can make informed choices when purchasing food. Some topics in his
talk will address:
- Why consumers should be concerned.
- Consolidation of food stores and processors.
- How does this affect farmers?
- What are the alternatives?
- Advantages of a local food system.
Brian and Holley Moyer own and operate Green Haven Farm in Berks County
where they raise pastured poultry, sheep and dairy goats. They market
their chickens, eggs, lamb and goat cheese through 2 CSA's, 2 farmers
markets, restaurants and direct on-the-farm sales. They are the founders
of the Skippack Farmers' Market where Brian is also market manager.
Brian also helped start up the Indian Valley Farmers' Market in Telford.
Recently, Brian was elected to the board of the American Pastured Poultry
Producers Association (APPPA) and for the past year has been working
on organizing a state chapter of APPPA to address the specific needs
of Pennsylvania pastured poultry producers.
From the start, Brian and Holley have made it their mission to share
their farming and marketing success and failures with others to help
create a network of successful, sustainable farms. Now, their future
goals include a way to have more marketing options for farmers and more
accessibility for consumers so neither will have to work so hard to
find one another. Brian and Holley's motivation for this is the simple
belief that good communities start with good food.
This event is being sponsored by the Eastern PA Chapter [EPAC] of
The Weston A. Price Foundation (EPAC/WAPF).

they provide even more nutrients than the fresh food, and they're great
for our digestive health! In this talk, you'll learn more about the
history of these tasty foods, and then we'll talk about making them
yourself at home with easy, delicious, healthful results!

Santa Monica, CA: Wild Oats (5th and Wilshire). James
Stewart on "How Food Gets from the Farm to the Store" AND
"Raw Dairy Products: Facts & Benefits "(This talk was
rescheduled from the original date, October 20.)
James Stewart is responsible for the distribution of Organic Pastures
raw dairy products to stores from Ventura to San Diego. When sales of
raw dairy products in Los Angeles County were threatened, he was one
of the key figures in the battle to ensure our ongoing access to this
high-quality food group.
So when it comes to understanding how markets are created and how foods
get from farmers to market, James has a wealth of fascinating information!
From years of dealing with small dairies that produce raw milk, he is
also extremely knowledgeable about how raw dairy products are produced,
how they differ from conventionally produced dairy products --
even organic, but pasteurized, dairy products. And finally, James has
done extensive research on when "raw" on the label really means "raw",
and will let you know what to look for. This informal talk will have
lots of time for Q&A!

Nov 15
Norton, OH: Brainstorming meeting for creating a statewide
distribution system for Real Food, Winery at Wolfe Creek in Norton,
OH (exit North off I-76 East), between Wadsworth and Akron exits. Anyone
interested in contributing their thoughts is welcome to attend. This
is the very first meeting of this group which includes WAPF, OEFFA &
OFFC members, along with individuals familiar with farm market/co-op
organization. The goal is to develop a working model that will not trigger
regulatory/legal problems in the State of Ohio. We will be looking at
the Athens Farmers Market as a model that sells frozen meats along with
produce year-round. To begin our meeting, we ask that you have a brief
introduction of your interests/background ready to share. Ralph Schlatter
from Defiance has been active with farmers groups and is an advocate
of Raw Milk sales. Donita Anderson of the Union Market in Shaker Hts.
belongs to a new national group of farmers markets. Marlene Beggs of
Canton has much background in the structure of cooperative markets.
Their experience will guide us. This design is intended to bridge the
distribution gap between farmer and consumer, so both can benefit. "Real
Food" should not be difficult to conveniently find or sell in a
state that claims farming as its largest industry.
Nov 17
Santa Monica, CA: Wild Oats (5th & Wilshire). Alfredo
Urso, DCN, PhD will speak on "The Physical, Mental & Spiritual
Aspects of Health." Alfredo Urso is a board-certified natural health
consultant specializing in Corrective Exercise and Natural Living Perspectives.
For the past 23 years, Alfredo has explored numerous Eastern and Western
healing modalities. He realized that illness is ultimately what the
body does when it is disconnected from nature, and that true regeneration
of body / mind / spirit only occurs when we reconnect with nature. Nature
provides us with the most powerful, effective and safest healing tools
available. Alfredo teaches how to use these tools to regenerate the
body. As always, there will be time for Q&A!
