Lots of shuffling around at first. There was a no show, which is rare, and a lost guest who cancelled. There were two absolutely lovely families that that gave the tour a special feeling, and two couples adding a nice bit of nuance. We met Olinda farmers Ed Baldwin and wife, who have 27 acres at 4,000 ft elevation, and they shared a lot of valuable first hand experience with the tour guide and group. Of all the farmers who have visited, their farm seems to have the most in common with our own; except they have animals (chickens, goat, donkey) and they have done well selling eggs. The Toni Silvera couple also added sparkle to the group with a nice fun disposition. Ditto for the Jo Regan party. It all added up to a very pleasant group and tour. It was especially nice to have met the Baldwins.
