Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hello Tana, I'm fairly new to this group also, although I've seen most all of the Weston A price material related to trad foods, etc. I'm working on an arrangement with a central MN dairy that is organic & grass-fed. I deliver our organic eggs into the Plymouth area weekly and obviously go right past Maple Grove. I can add you to the list of potential interested consumers waiting for this to work out. Will be in the Midtown Public Market this season representing Whole Farm Coop- Long Prairie, MN For more details about our products check out www.wholefarmcoop.com or www.mnorganiceggs.com Welcome to the group!

I don't have Microsoft Publisher so I can't open the flyers and I am not sure what actually happens at these or where they are. It's very intriguing though!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Welcome to the group, Tana! I organize a group of people who take turns going out to MidValleyVu Farms to pick up stuff for the others in the group. There are a few people in the group who are interested in spinning off, and forming their own group based on their geographic location- which so happens to be in YOUR neck of the woods! (I am in the South, and sorta East of the Cities.) Therese Laurdan of this group was gonna start it up. Therese? Any news on the group forming up? Remember, I'm happy to help out any way I can, if you need any advice, tips or whatever! The group I organize is busting at the seams, and I am having to start to turn people away because we are averaging 50 gallons of milk per run! Once your group forms and the few here who live north and west leave my group for yours, then those on the waiting list can get in! And everybody's happy! And MVV too! Oh goodie, more business for them! (which they so well deserve, BTW!) Sara R. - Eagan Tana L <icyt@...> wrote: Hi, I just joined this group last week and I'm a little confused.

Remember, I'm happy to >>help out any way I can, if you need any advice, tips or whatever! Sara, I just can't seem to get a definite answer from everyone. If I was less busy with the children and stuff, maybe I could jump start things a little better. If ANYONE on this list is interested in forming a NW group to maked MVV runs, please email my off list and let me know where abouts you live.... etc....

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I just joined this group and this is my first post. We are in St Cloud. If St. Cloud wouldn't be too far for a milk run, I'd recommend the Molitor's in Luxemburg (about 3 miles south of 94 at the Hwy 15 exit in St Cloud). If you want their phone number, email me. They are certified organic, and they sell raw if you pick it up. Emilie > > Hi, > I just joined this group last week and I'm a little confused.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Kristi, the farm where we get our raw milk is near Freeport, MN The farmer was in the St ph Farmers Market with ground beef and steaks, roasts, etc. iwouldn't compare these with rpoduct from 1000 hills as these are from the beef side of a airy far (bull calves and cull cows). He obviously cannot bring raw milk to the market, but can sell direct from the farm. The St Cloud area farm is owned by a classmate of mine from high school. It's interesting how few Future Farmers of America are still farming. I'll be checking out both dairies for management details and logistics for pickup and payment. Thanks for your interest in central MN organic food prodution.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Alvin, thank you in advance for checking out the two farms. I would appreciate it if you would keep my name jotted down somewhere as to get back to me on this. I personally know 3 other people in my area (north suburbs) who are also interested, and I believe there are a couple more in the north burbs on this list who are wanting milk as well. I would love to see a north coop for milk.
