Traditional Dairy Farmer Michael Schmidt has been on his hunger strike for responsible food freedom for nearly a month now. He is determined to see this through to the end. Currently it looks like he will be Canada's first martyr for food freedom.
This 2012 calendar features 12 of my favorite seasonal, local, homegrown, easy-to-make, delicious grain-free, gluten-free, paleo, GAPS and SCD friendly recipes.
The Transition movement works on the basis that if we wait for government to act on issues such as climate change we'll be waiting until hell freezes over; and if we only act as individuals, that's too little.

"The government's commitment to back away from aggressive prosecutions [against Our Cows--Vancouver's fresh raw milk community dairy] is a relief for us. We now have some breathing room while the courts determine whether Canadians have a right to choose between whole and processed foods,"
We consumers need to change the way we eat. Intensive meat production is systematically spoiling the planet, endangering biodiversity, exploiting workers, jeopardizing human and animal health and undermining the survival of family farmers.
Please join us for a screening of Milk War, a documentary of Michael Schmidt's struggle to provide raw milk for his local cowshare and the legal battles he faced.
The healing journey may begin with ourselves, but unless it extends outwards towards our homes, our communities, our ecosystem, and our biosphere any healing we achieve can not last….–Harvest McCampbell
I can’t remember exactly how it was I came across Harvest McCampbell’s inspiring book (which is also a very helpful resource) Food Security & Sustainability: For The Times Ahead, but I am sure glad I did, became her friend on facebook, and had the opportunity to meet her last year. Her extensive knowledge of all kinds of plants and their medicinal abilities for healing both humankind and the earth, and her open nature have really given me a lot of hope and inspiration over the past couple years. Whenever I have a question about soil, compost, healing and even history she is available. I personally don’t know how she does it, as I know she has a large following on facebook, and that she manages to keep up with all of us!
