Angie and Matt are very happy people, I was very impressed with the hard work, and walked away feeling kind of inept. But overall, the food was great, the recipes were inspiring and I made a personal commitment to make some changes.
The family espouses the virtues of raw milk, which I am somewhat resistant to, but they did reiterate the importance of having the milk tested for pathogens, and making sure you are able to see the cow and see the care it is getting - which I agree with. If you are making the choice to take risks, at least be educated about the consequences - and all 25 women in the audience got that education.
The food was amazing, the people were friendly and I would be happy to visit again. Although there is no charge for the mini-conference, I would encourage anyone who visits to buy garden seeds from their store, and think seriously about the honey - OMG it is fabulous!
Thanks again for the experience - you guys are the salt of the earth. Bridget
