CHAPTER LEADER MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

In June, members of The Nourished Table, a group started by Diane Smith, White Bear Lake Area chapter leader, visited
the Peterson Limousin Beef Farm in Osceola, Wisconsin. The group is bringing this grass-fed, grain-finished beef to White Bear
Lake to sell for an affordable price of $4.99 per pound at the local health food store, Sassafras Health Food Store. The group
also connected their children's school with Grass Run Farms to bring them 100 percent grass-fed beef sticks and grass-fed
hotdogs.

Says Diane, "It is a start for us to be able to bring local real food to our
people at affordable prices, as well as educate them about nutrient-
dense foods and what to stay away from!" At their booth at the sum-
mer Market Fest for White Bear Lake, they provided sample beef and
organic popcorn cooked in coconut oil.

Diane is talking with the Petersons about healthy additives for their
summer sausage, brats and hotdogs.

Thank you, Diane, for making a difference, one chapter leader at a time!
