Wise Traditions Conference

Yesterday I left home for Dallas, only to remember 1.5 hours later that I forgot my wallet! I had to turn around. Thankfully my husband met me half way.

Once in Dallas, I helped fill 1,200 conference bags. Four hours of hard labor, people.



This morning I worked the registration table. Easy peasy job.





I met Sarah the Healthy Home Economist. Very exciting.

Then Sally Fallon-Morell who is president of the Weston A Price Foundation and author of Nourishing Traditions. With her is Pete Kennedy, leading attorney with the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund.


And I almost didn't recognize Michael Schmidt without his hat. He recently finished a prolonged hunger strike on behalf of fresh, raw milk.




No real food conference would be the same without Kelly the Kitchen Kop!

Or Ann Marie - aka Cheeseslave.
And Jenny from Nourished Kitchen.
Finally, a part of the grocery list for this conference, which includes 800 pounds of butter, 52 gallons of maple syrup and 95 gallons of lacto-fermented vegetables.
