What a gorgeous place! I'll be coming back to see more of your website, Guy. www.oklahomafood.org in April will be publishing online a couple of documents... (probably 60 page pdf files) .... SARE reports which may be helpful to you. We'll be telling about how our Co-op came to be, and some of the issues and decisions along the way. And we'll be putting out a sort of piece for politicians and rulemakers, so they can know what helps and hurts the development of these community entrepreneurships. Ron Cox and Joanne Lee in Olympia would be a couple of good urban contacts, because they are tuned to special food and Joanne is gifted at working with cooperative communities. I have lost track of their email addy. I'll try to send you it. If you want to monitor the daily chatter among our members, we are at yahoogroups name OKFOODRET (You probably know how to join and then the emails come to you like lists.ibiblio).
Merry Christmas!
Kathy

I'm in WA State, near the Pacific Ocean. Your email (Kathy) is very
intriguing, and seems to point the way towards my goal here of creating a
co-op / csa that connects farmers with local consumers for organic grass fed
meats, dairy, vegetables, herbs, flowers, gourmet / medicinal mushrooms and
also recreation (camping, cob Hobbit cabins).

My ranch, Rivendell is 160 acres with lambs, hogs, and soon a green house.
There is camping now and we are building cob Hobbit cabins next year.

I am hoping that you may have already solved a lot of the problems I am
trying to address:
- sustainability
- organic grass fed
- fair profit to farmers
- fair prices to consumers
- development of local economy
- community

Thank you for your time,
