Organic Matters

Hello Everyone,

Since I'm an organic grower for the County of San Diego in herbs and garlic, I get a lot of neat stuff sent to me. The one I want to tell you about today is the Ecological Farming Association. Their website is http://eco-farm.org. They are in Watsonville, CA; and they are 29 years old. They've been around for awhile.

"The Ecological Farming Association is dedicated to the development of ecologically-based food systems, both domestically and throughout the world by educating farmers, the agriculture industry and other stewards of the land about practical and economically viable techniques of ecological agriculture informing consumers and policy makers about ecological food production and its connection to the health of people and communities, and promoting alliances between individuals and organizations who share our vision of a transformed global food system."

This is taken from the most recent newsletter directly.

In the course of my blogs, I have come to teach you that your healthy skin, your general health, and the health of everything around is all starts with our food supply. This is an issue of concern to everyone, finally, across political lines, race, socio-economic status and even religion.

This would be a great organization in which to throw in your lot. January 21-24, 2009 there will be a huge conference called Eco-Farm 2009. It will be held at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California. Not only is Asilomar a wonderful place to visit, a great destination spot, but you'll get some REAL GOOD information and meet lots of great folks.

Focusing ourselves on what we want, not what is, is how we will get what we want.

Thanks for reading!
