I suspect that many of you may already know about this. I just found
out from Allen Bontrager. Joel Salatin will be in Goshen on Tuesday,
January 20th before he travels on to Columbus, IN for a two-day grazing
conference I'm attending.

Those on yahoogroups boards will not be able to get the attached flyer.
If you want a copy of the flyer, email me off board at
svsiemers@embarqmail.com <mailto:svsiemers@embarqmail.com>.

I'm including a link to Polyface Farms, where you can learn more about
what Joel Salatin has done. He is a fascinating man who lives what he
preaches.

Hi Susan -

Thanks for your interest in the upcoming CSP-sponsored event "Local Food
to the Rescue: An Evening with Joel Salatin". I suspect that this
presentation will be quite different from Joel's presentation in
Columbus, with this one highlighting the importance of demonstrating and
promoting a "local/sustainable/safe" food supply to our customers.

The event will be held in the old Goshen Theater (the venue is now home
to a church ministry) - at 6:30 pm Tuesday, January 20th. See the
attached flyer.

Tickets are $20 each. You may purchase them in person at the Goshen
Farmers Market on either of the two Saturday mornings before the event
(the 12th or the 19th), or you can send a check made payable to:

Community Sustainability Project, Inc.
P.O. Box 1031
Goshen, IN 46527

Please include a return address, just to make sure we get your tickets
to the right mailbox.

We look forward to seeing you on the 20th.

Also: to remind- pick from 2 great conferences on Jan. 21-22, the
Midwest Organic Production and Marketing Conference and Trade Show, held
in conjunction with the Indiana Horticulture Congress, at the Adam's
Mark Hotel in Indianapolis; and the grazing conference in Columbus
Indiana, Joel Salatin keynote speaker and a leader at several of the
breakout discussion groups. Joel Salatin owns and operates Polyface
Farms. Follow this link for more about him and his work.

Here's a link to the brochure for the grazing conference:
http://www.agry.purdue.edu/ext/forages/pdf/2009HOAGC.pdf

Why these 2 conferences were scheduled in different places instead of
together? It would have been great to have them both accessible since
there likely will be a great deal of overlap among the participants.
