Today’s group of 16 was on the quiet side. All mature adults who were from around the states and Canada, most seemed content to just soak up farm atmosphere. The standard spiel was toned down. Even so, a man from one party got a little miffed with the “eat local” topic that was being discussed and quipped: “I live in North Alberta, what do you expect me to do”? Uhhh…good point. Another had an insight, he works for a grocery chain as a food buyer and shared how he buys food- and how he was sold on organic foods for numerous reasons; one being how healthy soils are a living organism themselves and impart the food grown in them with nutritious micronutrients and more wholesome cell structure and fiber. The guy from North Alberta wasn’t buying into it. Nonetheless, and perhaps despite Mr. North Alberta’s naysaying, most thanked us and expressed appreciating on their way out.
