Happy B-day to me
Ok, so this is a little late, but it was my birthday on Monday. I have completed 36 trips around the sun, and still going strong. I don't feel a day over 35 and a half.
Among numerous wonderful presents, and a great cake ala Maryellen, Waverly got me an awesome book.
These people rock. Support slightly crazy, small, local, organic farmers!!!!

Happy B-Day! I bought this book last year and it rules. I wish some of the photographs were of better quality (clearer). Have you checked out Michael Ableman's two books??---"From the Good Earth" and "On Good Land" are both awesome. OGL is a story about a farm he ran in the middle of a huge California suburb---this is kind of the situation I'm in here in NC. Good luck at market tomorrow, we had our best day last saturday--the heirloom tom's were a huge hit.

I've been looking for the mellon mail order page on your site, but have been unable to locate it????
