I just want to tell you Harvey that I am so grateful for all that you do and bring to the world. You are years ahead of me and I am so thankful to have such a flexable clear model to learn from. You have shortened my learning curve more then once:o)

Hi All,

Most of you know of the Weston A. Price Foundation, a national (indeed,
now international) organization for education on food and health issues,
critical of hyper-processed industrial foods, committed to
nutrient-dense traditional foods. Ellen and I are local chapter
leaders--we maintain an extensive list of local producers of foods, to
help them and nutrition-conscious local eaters find each other.

WAPF will be holding its annual conference Friday Nov 9 through Sunday
Nov 11. The theme for the conference will be "Radiant Health for
Children and Their Parents," and there will be many sessions on child
health, nutrition, and diseases; nutrition in schools; vaccination;
autism; asthma, allergies, and ear infections; and much more. However,
topics always range far afield, so there will be plenty on agricultural
issues as well, from the right to farm to effective micro-organisms to
soil building and more.

I will be offering an all-day track on Friday the 9th which I'm calling
"The Integrated Homestead." I am more and more convinced that success as
we try to become more food self-sufficient, starting in our backyards,
depends not on a one-for-one search for (usually purchased) solutions,
but an attempt to create integrated patterns in which the various
elements (soil building, dealing with competitor insects, poultry and
other livestock, manure management, season extension and winter
growing, etc.) come together in the same projects, supporting and
enabling each other in synergistic ways that mimic natural ecologies.

You can learn more about the Weston A. Price Foundation at

The page for the conference per se is

http://www.westonaprice.org/conference/2007/index.html

However, that page does not have the information about the all-day
tracks on Friday. For that schedule, go to

http://www.westonaprice.org/conference/2007/schedule.html

It would be great to see some of you at the conference. If you do
attend, let's plan ahead to meet.

~Harvey
