Going Over Materials and Preparing for the San Diego County Fair
WHY THE CAMPAIGN TO GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA?
LESLIE ON THE CARAVAN, SEPTEMBER 1-10 TO THE NATIONAL HEIRLOOM EXPO
“It is time to do what we can to educate Washington about real food safety, but we cannot look to a handful of elect reps or the special interests that have their ear for the solution. The solution is in our hands. the solution is in growing some “amber waves of grain’ and some packets of heirloom seeds through the very act of gardening, and supporting local organic farmers. A whole new generation of youth need enrich our soil. We will return the American Dream to its Grassroots, and to the prosperity so clearly demonstrated in nature in the growth of a Sacred Seed.”
TAKE YOUR SACRED SEED OFF THE SHELF--THAT IS THE MESSAGE FOR THE CAMPAIGN TO GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA 2013
HOW FAST CAN A DREAM GROW?
AS FAST AS A BLADE OF GRASS
This is the main Art for 2013. A large edition was gifted to the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and will hang at the school. This was my main funding project at the Pacific Symposium, November 8-11, 2012.
The Art on magnets, and packets of Khorasan Wheat will be offered in 2013 at various activities.
PACKET OF KAMUT ® BRAND KHORASAN WHEAT SEEDS ARE ONE OF OUR MAIN NOVELTY ITEMS IN 2013 TO INSPIRE YOU TO PLANT YOUR DREAM!
HELPING TO BUILD A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT TOWARD LABELING AND REMOVING GMO PROLIFERATION FROM OUR FOOD SUPPLY
If we are to build our Grassroots movement toward Labeling GMOs and beyond, we will need to grow more youth and adults who have their beat back with nature.
In 2013, I will create more "Aha's!" as adults and children have the experience of grinding KAMUT ® whole grains into flour. I will advance the idea of Grow A Healthier Pizza." We will gain more expertise making pizzas with KAMUT ® and writing about this on the Plant Your Dream Blog.
A KERNEL OF ANCIENT WHEAT SPEAKS TO ME
SACRED FOOD PROJECT FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE
Helping to introduce a better quality of Challah to the Jewish Community
through making friends with KAMUT ® Khorasan grain.
These are part of my outreach that I do twice a year, once at Passover in the Desert, and once during the Ten Days of Awe in September.
HOME ACTIVITIES ARE PART OF THE CAMPAIGN TO GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA IN 2013 THESE INCLUDE:
ENCHANTED GARDEN BAKER CREEK OUTPOST!
Come Plant Your Dream Here with KAMUT ® Brand Khorasan Ancient Wheat and Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds! This Seed Dream is to have a Seed Salon at home in the 100 year old Secretary that was used in my Dad's Apartment. The seeds are already there and we are planting various Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds in our front yard as a Demo Site.
NADINE'S HEALTHIER PIZZERIA
This is Food Reform in America! Nadine makes a Healthier Pizza from fresh ground KAMUT ® Khorasan wheat, ground by kids, and then turned into a yummy celebration of organic foods grown by our local San Diego farmers.
Nadine is my sweetie. She is having a great time developing her skill with KAMUT ® Brand Khorasan Wheat.
The Blog Sponsorship will also help with expenses working on the the Campaign to Grow A Healthier Pizza 2013 at home and in our local Farmer’s Market. Ideas--many involving KAMUT ® brand Khorasan wheat-- develop and are recorded on the Plant Your Dream Blog. Two current themes on my Blog are a Baker Creek Enchanted Garden Outpost here at home; and Nadine Dominguez, a housemate and partner, perfecting her own 100% fresh ground KAMUT ® Khorasan Pizza dough technique.
ANNE GOLDMAN'S RECIPES

PROGESS ON GROWING A LOAF OF BREAD FOR THE LOCAL JEWISH
COMMUNITY IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD
THE ENCHANTED GARDEN BAKER CREEK SEED OUTPOST
The blog will capture our home garden improvements that include
moving along the project to grow KAMUT ® as a novelty idea in pots, and in the ground.
I am also experimenting with growing KAMUT ® in a Tower Garden Project called the Tower of Pizza.
THE TOWER OF PIZZA!
Last year in 2012, I met the creator of JuicePlus and the Tower Garden. My sponsor, Lurrae Lupone has set me up with a Tower Garden that is now growing seedlings. I am a soil man, however, in this times of Food Emergency, I support vertical growing of food for those who do not have the space to grow a large plot. Rich McCoy, a housemate set up our Tower Garden and will tend it.
I returned to Rancho La Puerta for my 65th Birthday. I identify my spiritual roots on this land. In the old days, wheat grew here to make fresh bread. What a Vision for now! I see it and seed it! I would like to see a crop of KAMUT ® grow here and be harvested by guests at one special week in 2013.
Perhaps in honor of the Essene Days at Rancho La Puerta.
Robert Arjona, General Manager for Rancho La Puerta, helped grind some ancient wheat of KAMUT ® Khorasan wheat as part of our kid activity offered at the Rancho La Puerta Posada December 9, 2012. As a Prize for helping to grind the wheat, the Kids and adults got to choose a gift of Heirloom Seeds to take home and plant. The day had lots of kid activities. Nadine and I were gratified to offer this nature activity. In the Olden Days of Rancho La Puerta, Edmond Bordeaux Szekely taught that it was important to grind wheat fresh for bread. I felt his spirit was smiling on us as we brought back the very enjoyable experience of grinding fresh wheat the would be made into a bread.
