Jeanne, I'd love to read it all and have a discussion, too.

For all of you following our Healthy Harvest community project, we had a booth at yesterday's city-wide garage sale with some of our produce on display and had 22 new people sign up to become involved, which brings us to 37. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but considering our town has 49 people, and the other has less than 400, and we just started, I think this is significant response to starting a local food movement.

At our second meeting, we found out one couple had planted 44 olive trees in hopes of eventually pressing olive oil, and that someone is already doing that south of us about 75 miles. Another farmer showed up who has 150 acres interested in growing. Looks like a farmers market is going to evolve. We also found a man who is trading us okra and Jerusalem artichokes for our eggs, and some new customers for eggs.

It would be great if all on this list read the article all the way to the end (it is very long) and then we have a discussion about what it has to say. Some of my own thought are expressed below.
