Hello all,

My wife () and I (Jeff) are new to the group, but not strangers to

Weston Price or Nourishing Traditions. We have one child Judah (2) and

another child due any day.

We really got into healthier eating about 5 years ago after we spent 3 weeks

in Ukraine for a mission trip. Day in and day out we ate garden fresh

tomatoes, cucumbers and other foods. Once we came back to the states, it

was challenging to find the types of foods which actually had the flavor

that they should have had.

Eventually realized that she had an allergy or food sensitivity to

soy, so we have been doing what we can to avoid soy and other things. Most

of you know then that we need to make most things from scratch, because soy

is in many many things.

We used to live in Mankato where I attended school and we were fairly

satisfied with the products which were available to us. Real milk from a

local farmer and eggs from a decent source, but we have been having a little

more difficulty locating a reliable source for eggs and real milk in the

Albert Lea area (so if anyone has any info we would love to find out).

As we continue educating ourselves, we realize more and more the importance

of wholesome foods, no matter what the cost. But we must still do what we

can to live within our means since I am a student pastor and is a stay

at home mother who works one day a week.

Both of us grew up on farms and have a good concept of the work it takes to

produce a quality product. My farm was a little more of the crop rotation

and pasturing cattle persuasion than was 's, but we have learned a lot

over the past few years and are eager to learn more.

Thanks for your help,

Jeff and Merseth
