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).

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!

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.

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!
