Batya Kagan said… - Hi Donna,
I know that spring is busy. No, I haven't found a leafminer resistant beet... haven't tried as hard as I should... I am still getting beets even though the leaves look ugly.
I have started a new venture of a small farm that I am hoping to sell produce to retreat centers. I know it is a bit nuts but I have always wanted to try my hand at actual farming. My mini-farms are going pretty well... but as I suspected about Santa Cruz, hardly any of them are going the "traditional" route of the backyard CSA approach and much of my work seems to be in the consulting arena.
Again, I appreciate so much all of the support you gave me in starting my business. Never thought I'd be a business woman, and I still have a lot to learn, but this is obviously a good business venture if one can turn a profit only two months after starting it (or in your case right away) even in the midst of a recession. I'm happy people have food in this precarious time. thanks again. Love, Batya

David King said… - OH!! You're famous. One of my volunteers sent me some article on you. What a BRILLIANT idea! I give to you the Ephemeral Golden Carrot award for Brilliant Ideas. (it is "ephemeral" because it has to be sent electronically or telepathically so you don't actually get a golden carrot except for what you can dream about!).
