Hi all,
For the next couple months we will be having our potlucks on Mondays. We had been holding them on Fridays, but in order to accommodate a variety of schedules we switch days around every so often. In May we will move to another weekday. Please send me feedback for what day(s) work best for you.

DVD begins at 6:00 PM
Location:
Natural Grocers
201 Coburg Road
Eugene, OR 97401
Description:
Raw? Pasteurized? A1? A2? Grass-fed? Grain-fed? Vitamin A and vitamin K! Guernseys, Jerseys, Swiss Browns… Holsteins? Liquid milk can be hard to digest even in its most natural state: fresh from the cow, aka “raw”. Pasteurized milk is always hard on the digestive tract. Traditional peoples all over the world have cultured their milk in order to make it easier to digest and to increase its nutrient content. Culturing also pre-digests milk proteins (casein) and milk sugar (lactose), adds probiotics and increases live enzymes. Lactose intolerant? You can enjoy yogurt and kefir and sour cream again! Throw out those calcium pills and learn how to make easily digested, bio-available cultured dairy products, including yogurt, kefir, sour cream and creme fraiche. (Culturing dairy for GAPS will also be covered.)
And as always, check out the online version of this newsletter and our local Eugene area website for updates, link corrections and many more resources.
