I tried out a new idea at the Hillcrest Farmers' Market
on Sunday January 17, 2011. I loaded up one of the
BioSmart Bagasse plates with sprouts from Suzie's Farm.
It made a lovely site! Then, I went over to Celeste
at Peace Pies and added various toppings.
I imagined a new concept taking off;
The BioSmart tray, ideal for school cafeterias,
would be used as a healthy alternative plate
to the styrofoam that is so common at our Farmers' Markets.
The Hillcrest Farmers' Market in San Diego is one of the
most popular in our City.
I want to see the idea catch on as a way of
popularizing the Beet Keepers, Return!
End of Styrofoam campaign.
Read below. You will find a story about the state
of California banning styrofoam use from State Parks.
How soon will Styrofoam be banned from Farmers' Markets
and other vendor uses?
Because of the nature of the Farmers' Market, where
their is a direct contact between the shopper and the vendor,
this is a great place to educate about Real Food Safety as
well as environmental issues.
Styrofoam is having a major impact on the health of
our landfills as well as oceans.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM
HERE IS ONE LOCAL SOLUTION

Peace Pies, a lovely favorite vendor of mine
added an assortment of toppings to my sprouts.
It was a lovely way to eat the sprouts offered
at Suzie's Farm.
A tray of raw organic almonds, walnuts, and dried tomatoes
from Terra Bella Farm also added to the eye appealing
delights offered up in the BioSmart Trays.
the Concept is a winner!!!

I have been admiring the products of Terra Bella Ranch at our Hillcrest Farmers' Market for weeks I enjoy their certified Organic Nuts. I also had in mind yesterday to get show a draft of the Playbook I will be taking to the Natural Product Expo West this week. That all added up to making this Youtube for Nicolina Alves. Hope you like this! I love their Certified Nuts--Organically grown that is!
I connected with Nicolina Alves last week at the California
Small Farm Conference in San Diego, February 28-March 1 & 2.
The conference was like walking through a dream for me.
I write about food a lot and the Hillcrest Farmers' Market
is my home community for my eats.

CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE WASHINGTON
ON REAL FOOD SAFETY
VIDEOS ON THE NEW PLANT YOUR DREAM WEBSITE
http://plantyourdream.net
THESE ARE OUR AIMS
1-To support mobilization of one Farmers’ Market in our local area, the Hillcrest Farmers’ Market in San Diego. To continue to work with local organic farmers and help them sell more of their produce.
2-To continue to develop a 1/3 acre parcel of land near San Diego State College named the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community Growing Grounds where those who live here and who live around the world may study our process of learning how to keep the beat with nature through learning to live together cooperatively as a household that seeks to live in harmony with the earth. The motto of the house will be Keep The Beet. Through growing a simple beet in a pot, we can regain our beat with nature. Not all in the house garden. Some like to prepare food. Others help with other jobs, or rent. The land, as of January 2010 is being refinanced. A Trust to hold the land is being explored. The Seed Dream would be to leave a museum and park for future generations to learn from this experiment in cooperative living that has been going on since the early 1970′s. The intent is that what we learn here can help others, and Washington, understand and adapt to some of the shifts being asked of all of us now.
3- To develop relationships with those who influence Washington and government. A vast coalition across all political, religious, and philosophical lines has now formed. Mainstream media needs to be reached through bloggers filling the gap where journalism once told all points of view. Elected leaders need to be encouraged to follow the principles expressed in the song “America The Beautiful.”
4- We see the world as we know it now coming to an end. A Shift has already happened. It is for each of us to adapt to the earth and relearn the laws of nature, rather than attempt to further adapt nature to our ways. The source of our economic and health crisis is that we have lost our beat with nature. We can regain the beet through becoming once again a nation of gardeners who live in a world of gardeners. One Pot+One person=You are a Gardener. Start to grow your own food now.
