Even if you attended the March session at Champoeg Creamery you will still learn from this review. I have heard from many of you (and me) since then clarifying and trying to remember what Tim presented. Studies show we need to hear things as many as 5-7 times for it to sink in, this review will be well worth your time. I know I am still learning MANY new things at each event!
We will discuss how to prepare your dairy animals to transition to winter feed and manage your pastures through the winter and how to properly prepare them for next spring. Walk the pastures with Tim explaining the various grasses and heights and nutritional values as the season changes

I am pleased to announce that I (Lisa) have been asked to give a presentation on fermentation at the conference. You local members in Eugene can hear me talk anytime, but don’t miss this opportunity to hear the other great speakers in person! I don’t know how long it will be before the conference returns to Oregon. If you’ve never heard Sally Fallon Morell’s Nourishing Traditional Diets presentation, you owe it to yourself to attend! And the food is always awesome, that alone is worth the admission!
This is not a Eugene Chapter event, but we post the information here as a service to our local members. For additional information, please contact Charlotte Smith.
Recommended by the Eugene Chapter Leader:
“I have heard Tim Wightman speak several times at Wise Traditions Conferences, and I went to one of these trainings last November. I can say that it is a wonderful opportunity to go listen to such an experienced dairy person. I highly recommend it to farmers, and I recommend it to consumers so that you know what to look for in your milk producer. Tim Wightman covers the practical aspects of what it takes to make healthy, delicious, nutrient-dense milk. Healthy cows don’t happen by accident, and just because milk is “raw” doesn’t mean that it is full of all the nutrients that could be available to us. Please urge your farmer to attend!”
Scholarships:
In order to support our local raw milk producers attending this event, the Eugene Chapter is offering scholarships. Please contact us (email Lisa at: info@krautpounder.com) if you are interested in attending but cannot afford the (very reasonable) cost.

If you know anyone in California, or need an excuse to go down there, I highly recommend The Fourfold Path to Healing Conference.

This comes to us from The Weston A. Price Foundation:
Below is a note from Sally Fallon Morell about the upcoming Fourfold Healing Conference sponsored by New Trends Publishing. If you know anyone who would like to attend but cannot for financial reasons, please suggest they call our registrar to arrange for assistance: Paul Frank (304) 724-3006. We would love to have as many as possible hear these great speakers.
Personally, I have attended and enjoyed this conference greatly. I could hear all three speakers over and over. I usually take Jaimen’s class and find it very healing and energizing- it is like a retreat. If you don’t know about him, here is one of his videos that will give you a taste of his work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFEsjGZ5TGg
Kathy Kramer
While centered on the book The Fourfold Path to Healing, the speakers at this conference are constantly promoting WAPF membership and it always turns out to be a beneficial conference for the Foundation.
The Friday evening reception and two days of lectures will be held on the beautiful Queen Mary. Because the number who attend is typically below 300, this is a great opportunity to meet and talk with Tom Cowan, Jaimen McMillan and myself. Many of you have heard me and Tom speak, but if you have not attended Jaimen’s classes you are in for a fascinating, helpful and entertaining experience learning about healing through movement. And, of course, the reception buffet and two meals we serve will be completely WAPF-approved!
Many thanks!
Sally
I had the opportunity to meet and have lunch with Charlotte Smith, the organizer of this event, at the Wise Traditions Conference last week. She also spoke at the Chapter Leaders meeting, addressing the reasons for her creating the Oregon Raw Milk Producers Association. It was very moving and inspiring. I would like to encourage everyone to attend one of these events.

Labeling laws are only one front on the movement to stop GMOs. Several countries and 3 counties in the US have also banned the growing of GMO crops. Today, “GMO-Free Jackson County” in Oregon is gathering signatures on an Initiative Petition to ban growing GMO plants in our county.
Jeffrey Smith will be speaking in Medford, Oregon in support of “GMO-Free Jackson County.” We plan to simulcast Jeffrey’s presentation for anyone who would like to see it live online for $5 as a fundraiser for our campaign.

This comes to us from some WAPF members who came to a potluck a few months back. Leigh and Steve are founding members of a newly formed Weston A Price/Permaculture Community and Educational Center. The non-proft organization is called Clearwater Sanctuary and is located on a beautiful piece of land located on the Olympic Peninsula near Matlock, WA. It is composed of a small group of permaculture teachers, gardeners and farmers, and Weston A Price devotees.
Leigh says:
We are holding our first annual, two week, Permaculture Design Course at the end of November 2012. This course will be awesome and a great way to deepen traditional food skills and knowledge, to learn permaculture, and to see how a Weston A Price diet fits so well with permaculture skills!
Also, we need to hire a cook for the course. Typically this would be Steve and I, but we are needing to participate in the course as community members. It sometimes feels rare to find someone who knows about Weston A Price’s work and has been, at the least, beginning to cook in these ways within their own home. Also, this person would need to have a lifestyle where they can come up the the Olympic Peninsula from November 26-Dec 11 to join us and help feed our bodies! We offer the cook a stipend of $1,000 for joining us to cook and participate in any extra ways they are able.
Here are the details:
