The grassroots Real Milk movement was begun years ago, by Sally Fallon Morell in the US. Here in Canada, Michael Schmidt gave the movement an opportunity when he was acquitted. Last year, his Edmonton Declaration was a powerful call to arms to protect our small farms. It is time for us to do our part by getting the buzz up on social networks, donating to the Legal Fund, and just bringing attention to this movement in as many ways as we can.

Lets Get the Buzz about Real Milk Going!

There is revolution in the air, the time is now. Earlier this year Kombucha Kamp launched a New Year’s ReVolution, promoting buzz about kombucha, which I found very inspiring. She organized a few of us to post and tweet about kombucha. She had it very well planned out and timed, with an amazing selection of prizes as extra incentive. One of her slogans was:

Support Vancouver’s Raw Milk Community

Support Vancouver’s Raw Milk Community

We live in a small apartment overlooking a couple main roads, right next to two gas stations in Vancouver BC. When we moved here one of the first things I did was to try to find a farm that would supply us with raw milk. Living in an apartment in a city without a place to grow your own food or have ...

Selected Book List

Selected Book List

I have finally put together a list of some of my favorite reads of late. I am sure there could be a ton more books added to this list, and I will most likely make another one some day. These books have helped me to shift the way I view the world and the potential of mankind. We are very intimately i ...

I Wish I Had A Kombucha Koat

I Wish I Had A Kombucha Koat

But if I won a continuous brew system that would do too.... Not so long ago I stumbled across an amazing project -- clothing made from kombucha leather! What else but kombucha can be a delicious healing beverage and a jacket all at once? I guess how they do it is by fermenting the kombucha in lar ...

LA Community Gardens Under Attack

LA Community Gardens Under Attack

Have you ever seen that documentary about the hugest urban community garden in the world that was bulldozed by the city of Los Angeles? It is a real tear-jerker. A truly disturbing film. Guess what? LA is at it again. They are planning to increase the cost per plot for community gardens from $25 to ...

Ubuntu Vancouver Maverick Meerkat Party

The Ubuntu community in Vancouver are an energetic, unique and friendly bunch. Although a group of people coming together around a computer operating system might sound rather boring, this is an incredibly revolutionary movement. Contrary to even my own expectations, I am always impressed with the a ...

Vision for a Return to Health

Vision for a Return to Health

I posted a while ago about the contempt of court trial that I attended, regarding our local community dairy. We have finally gotten the word from the judge, he found our x-Agister Alice Jongerdon in contempt of court, fortunately he didn't charge her any penalties. This is rather disappointing news. ...

Money As Relationship

Money As Relationship

I have been following Ellen Brown's articles ever since reading her book Web of Debt about a year ago. I highly recommend it as it is enjoyable--following the story of the Wizard of Oz--as well as a very eye-opening read. In the meantime, she has just posted this revolutionary article about money as ...

Improving Health for Communities in Need

I recently came across the organization NextCourse in my travels on the web. As they say, San Francisco is indeed at the forefront of improvement and ever since Alice Waters started the Edible Schoolyards project in 1995, I have been very excited with what is going on down there. Next Course include ...
