Today’s tour was an advanced course in green living with several guests contributing to a consciousness expanding experience for all. It was perhaps the most synergistic group ever…a sort of “dream tour” from the tour guide’s perspective. Larry and Anne Shriver were from Corvallis Oregon and know Dr. Elaine Ingham- who has worked with us to develop aerated compost teas. Larry is an agricultural economist and Anne is the president of their local “Slow Food” chapter. She elaborated to the group the ideals behind slow food. There was a couple from Seattle that included a green consultant, some East Bay land owners who are growing on a couple acres, and
water engineer Richard Mckenna- who told us about neutralizing chloramines with sodium nitrite. Kamaaina Vicki and Dan Shulte were celebrating a 50 birthday with friends all from Haiku and growing coffee. The group as a whole was very interested and asked a lot of questions, to which someone in he group had a special insight on, giving the tour a professional conference feel. This group of 27 goes down as one of the most memorable ever.
