| Dear Friend,
What a busy summer! How is it already late July?
We know you’ve been busy gardening, marketing, working, caretaking, traveling, beekeeping, milking, selling, parenting, and so much more.
We’ve been busy over here, too: celebrating our 15th birthday on July 4, fielding questions from members, drafting herdshare agreements, helping members with local departments of agriculture that are changing policies, working on our Campaign for Raw Food, as well as speaking and exhibiting at events around the country.
