I am a producer of 100% grassfed beef and organically fed pastured pork and chicken. How do I get on the list for local chapters in my area? Should I contact each one? We’re located in upstate NY.
Elaine Allen says
Where are you in upstate NY? I did not get an answer from the WAPF chapter when I asked for sources. I am in the Fingerlakes and am looking for chicken, butter and eggs.
Jen says
Shannon,
I too am in the valley! I’ve been looking tirelessly for raw milk close to us but about 1 1/2-2 hours away is the closest I can find (Denver or Grand Junction). I would love to make contact with you… maybe we can hook up a raw milk ride share? Other than that, I’ve been buying my meat online from Alderspring ranch but would really, really like to source that closer to home as well.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Jen

Dale Dobbins says
Part of the last election in my state of OR. was a opportunity for the citizens to pass a law makeing food producers selling their food in OR. to label them as having GMO ingredients. It failed but only by a small margin. My question is who is driving the interest in labeling food as having GMO ingredients, what is in it for them and where does their funding come from.
I am not a scientist do have a business degree.
Thanks for your response.

Brandi S says
When I take Nordic natural cod liver oil even at only 1 tsp I notice my hair starts falling out. That is the only supplement I take. I do think it helps some with depression but I don’t like to take it when I notice my hair falls out more. What could be the problem? Nordic naturals seems to be a good brand.
Dan says
I call bull……..!
mari says
you call bull? so you’re saying this has been made up? ok…whatever. so here’s just something to think about. sometimes people have sensitivities to foods that are generally considered to be healthy, or because of some undiscovered enzyme deficiency or other inborn issue, a food cannot be properly broken down, assimilated, and utilized, and then becomes a burden to the system. find a competent nutritionist in your area who is well versed in whole food nutrition and health assesment. good luck.
Deeae says
It is documented as fact, to which I can attest from personal experience, that too much vitamin A causes hair loss. Fish oils are a rich source of vitamin A. You are likely already getting enough of it in your diet.
Allan says
My email does not in any way attempt to answer your question, Joy! I plan to relocate to Massachusetts from San Francisco soon. So your question is as much mine as yours. I want to know where is Metrowest County located, how far from the city of Boston?

john says
I love the philosoggy of WAPF but was just curious about something, why isn’t cod liver promoted? I came across a tin of cod liver packed in its own oil and it was awesome! Not fishy at all and tasted like pate. Is there a BPA concern with all the oil and lining of the can (like a sardine can)?
Mark Craig says

Thank you.

Hi, There are lots of sources for pastured eggs in NM. You could start by going to the Saturday Railyard Growers’ Market. Besides a few cow-share options, the only NM source for raw milk is De Smet Dairy Farms in. I think they’re somewhere near Los Lunas. Their milk is terrific. It’s all A2, theirs is the only facility in NM to pass the federal dairy inspection with perfect marks, and the owners are wonderful.
Isabelle says
Hi there,
I’ve been working on a grain free sprouted granola. In working with the Dept of Ag and our food innovation center, there is great concern around salmonella poisoning with my process that I adapted from your Healthy 4Life book (crispy nuts). Do you happen to have a resource that helps with this? i.e. salted water inhibits Salmonella growth …trying to do the right thing but find that it is difficult in the face of regulatory bodies.
Maureen Diaz says
Hello Isabelle, I am perplexed as to the concern for salmonella. Salmonella bacteria are present in the digestive tracts of host species (humans, amphibians, reptiles predominately), and of course will be present in the feces, as well as contaminated ground and water sources. Thus, my question is this: where would the bacteria originate from that might contaminate the nuts and seeds which you might be sprouting. The use of clean equipment and clean, sterile water would, it seem, eliminate this vector of disease. Tree nuts and, presumably, grains would not typically be exposed to sources of infection. However, salmonella bacteria do actually like salt, so it is safe to assume that salt will not necessarily kill any bacteria that may be present. Furthermore, salmonella bacteria adapt readily to aerobic and anaerobic conditions, so brining or soaking will also not be effective against it; only cooking will destroy the bacteria, something which you won’t be doing when sprouting nuts. I would suggest you obtain a copy of Sandor Katz’ The Art of Fermentation . This resource may be enough to help sway the Dept. of Ag, but I would suggest that they at least supply you with concrete reasoning behind their concern. Beyond that, I might suggest you contact another business which is doing exactly as you are trying to do, and ask their advice. Peggy at Healthy Flour.com is one possible source for more information, or Living Nutz .
