Amy,

We can always use more WAPF chapters.  I am the chapter leader in Estillfork, AL. The cost to you as a chapter leader is minimal, in addition to your WAPF membership.  It also gets you several copies of "Wise Traditions" and a variety of brochures to hand out.  For an application and details see http://www.westonaprice.org/localchapters/application.html

By the way, if there is any way you can make it to Atlanta, GA this weekend, Sally Fallon will be speaking.  See our Yahoo group emails for details.

Best wishes,

John Langlois

Hi, and thanks for allowing me to be a part of this group.  Here is
my intro.  My name is Amy, dh is Steve and we are moving to Banks,
AL in May.  We currently live in New Mexico and have been involved
with a local WAPF chapter here. Anyway, we raise pastured dairy
goats (only pasture and hay fed, no grains) and the farm we bought
has only grass fed beef cattle included.  We also raise egg layers
and will expand into both pastured broilers and layers when we get
there.  We hope within the next year or two to have pastured dairy
cows and pastured sheep as well. 

Here is my question for all of you.  What exactly are the raw milk
laws in Alabama?  Are certified Grade A Dairies allowed to sell raw
milk?  I had read that is was allowed to be sold for pet consumption
but I am not sure that is the case any longer.  Also, has anyone
explored a goat or cow share program in Alabama?  Finally are the
sales of raw milk yogurt and kefir allowable (we make both).

On another note, we have a great sprouted flour company here in New
Mexico (they sell sprouted spelt, wheat and rye).  Is there an
equivalent in the Southeastern US?  The company here does mail order
but I thought if I could find a local organic company I could save
the money on shipping.

Sorry for the long intro-  looking forward to meeting all of you. 
Oh, one more question- is there enough interest in the
Troy/Enterprise area to start another WAPF Chapter?  We thought we
would look into that when we get there.

Thanks-

Amy

P.S. I just finished the Sally Fallon article in ACRES - its great!
