Can you believe that it has already snowed here in Minnesota? Well, I guess it's just a early warning to get ready for the cold! :) I hope you are enjoying the Fall! There is only about 1 week left of most Farmers Markets, unless they move indoors like Maple Grove Farmers Market. So if you get a chance, go before they are all over for 2009! I'm going to miss all the fresh fruit, veggies + other yummy foods.

We hope that during this winter we will have more time to get more information on the website, so if there something you don’t see and would like to see on the website, then let me know.
I appreciate ALL feedback! :)

Thank you for joining us on the journey of eating and living healthier!

~Here's More Information~

I recently saw an excellent documentary, The Future of Food + HIGHLY recommend watching it. The more we know, the more we can do.
We have made this available on our site and you can watch it for FREE.

~The Future of Food Documentary~
Watch it Free here
There are many excellent documentaries out right now. As with any documentary, there are biases and different perspectives; however, I firmly believe that it is important to hear every side if possible. Marketing and Big business can get in the way of the smaller voices, so these documentaries are essential to try to get the big picture.

Here are some of the documentaries we recommend watching:
*The Future of Food
*Food, Inc.
*Food Matters
*Fast Food Nation (the book is excellent as well)
*Sweet Misery: A poisoned world
*King Corn
*Bad Seed: The Truth About Our Food
*Super Size Me

Are there any other documentaries or books you would recommend? I would love to hear your suggestions!
