The Flowers and the Bees
we are so happy that our cactus that we have been nursing along by the walkway gave us a 48 hour show . . . 3 beautiful blossoms, enough to take your breath away . . . and we have one very healthy colony of bees in our new top bar Yossi Hives!

Sustainable Farming with Tara Firma Farms
Green Scene Radio Show guest Tara Smith, Founder of family owned farm, Tara Firma Farms in Petaluma, http://www.tarafirmafarms.com inspires us with her story. She and her husband took their concern about quality food and turned it into a thriving community farm serving Marin and Sonoma County with REAL organic food.
After her son brought home a Michael Pollan book, Tara and her husband became consumed with the topic of where our food comes from and how is it grown and raised. After incessant conversation, their nine year old challenged them to do something about it or stop talking about it. Ahhh, the wisdom of our children!
We thank him for that, as Tara Firma Farms now thrives! Serving Santa Rosa, Petaluma, San Rafael, San Anselmo, Mill Valley, and San Francisco the farm provides a variety of meats and produce organically hand-grown, selected and delivered weekly to multiple drop-off spots.
Open to the public, Tara offers free Sunday tours 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Visit and experience the joy of care-full community farming!
Tara’s big news – they are looking for young people in 30s with passion and love for farming interested in getting started with a farm. Tara Firma will help show the way and invest to make it financially possible. Interested? Contact Tara!

GoLocal, Shop Local, Embrace Local
I talked story with Kelley Rajala,Executive Director of GoLocal Sonoma, and the subject dear to the message was "do we understand that in the long run, expending the extra effort to shop local will benefit the whole community and enrich all perticipants. The construction of the foundation may be labor intensive, but the potential of the gains is a strong economic community . . .
Why Go Local? What really happens when we choose local?
. . . Six Reasons to Go Local, From Sonoma County Go Local Cooperative:
1. Buying from locally owned businesses rather than chain stores keeps your
money circulating 3 times longer in the local economy.
2. With that money, local businesses create the majority of new jobs.
3. Local businesses are, by far, the best supporters of community projects
and non-profits.
4. Because they live here, local businesses provide the best customer
service and support.
5. Buying locally helps protect the planet because fewer products are
shipped from far away places.
6. Most of all, supporting local business and products preserves OUR unique
place, not just cookie-cutter Anyplace, USA.
HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE TO ALL OF US? HOW CAN WE MAKE IT EASIER TO FOLLOW SUIT?
