Peaceful Valley at Eco-Farm 2010
Thursday, January 21st, 2010
For any of you who have had the pleasure of attending the Eco-Farm conference, or at the very least visited the Asilomar Center in Pacific Grove, you can understand how excited we are to be here for the 30th anniversary of this amazing and very important event. Besides being held in the most breathtaking oceanside venue, this place is full of very motivated, highly interesting individuals who, although they come from all different walks of life and professions, all have one thing in common, the commitment to organic agriculture and sustainable living. There is nothing like being involved in something like this, it is truly inspiring to see this group of people who are vibrant full of life and compassionate about something greater than themselves.
Today is the first full day, and after two organic meals prepared with ingredients generously donated by growers from all over California, a fantastic cup of organic coffee from Cafe Mam (pronounced mom), a truly thoughtful speech from one of the originators of the organic movement, Frances Moore Lappé who wrote Diet for a Small Planet, we are hyped to start the day and see face to face many people that we speak to on the phone daily. I will try to keep you all updated on what is going on, and the experiences that mold this great event. The above picture is an image of our booth in the Vendor Tent – and Dan Lake our Account Manager (he looks so chipper doesn’t he?). Today is a good day to Grow Organic… for life!
