Thanks Lynn for the information. I for one will try to make it. Jane

I'm forwarding this. SFA is Sustainable Farm Association. I've

mentioned this before and

just want to remind everyone about it. This is a WONDERFUL way to

find local resources.

Lake is half hour west of the cities on Hwy 12. The meeting

is being held in the

room above the library- on the SW corner of Hwy 12 and 6th across

from Cattail Corner

(garden store) and the Country Store (basic farm type store). We've

gone for the past 3

years or so and have found it to be very educational as well as

enjoyable. This year is a

potluck with MOM's ice cream and sloppy joes from Homeplace Organic

Beef (Pastured).

Hope some of you can come.

Lynn
