Fun With Fermentation this Saturday!

Hi all,

Hope you enjoyed the snow!  I’ve been snowed in without internet (or hot running water) for the past week.  Still had a nice vacation at home.

The Eugene Chapter is planning to attend the 8th annual Fun with Fermentation Festival this Saturday, January 14th, 2017, and we are calling on you to help.  We need some more volunteers.  Can you spare an hour or two to set up or staff our booth?  We can use people with all levels of skill and familiarity with WAPF principles.

Can you do any of these tasks? (pick one or more):

  • Carry boxes?
  • Set information out on the table?
  • Smile at people who come up?
  • Talk with people about the Weston A. Price Foundation principles?
  • Refer people to our website?
  • Pack boxes and load them back into the car?

If so, we need you!  Volunteers get in free, and its a lot of fun!

For more details about the event see: https://www.evensi.us/8th-annual-fun-with-fermentation-festival-lane-community/190310745

Contact me ASAP to let me know if I can count on you.

Thanks!

Fun With Fermentation 2012

For the second year in a row, the Eugene Chapter had a booth at the Fun With Fermentation Festival!  This event is presented by the Willamette Farm and Food Coalition.  We had a lot of new people sign up at the event to receive this newsletter.  Welcome to all our new members!  For those of you who could not make it to the event, Victoria wrote about her experience.

And a better, longer buy cheap viagra deeprootsmag.org performance can have a positive impact on your relationship, making you feel closer as a couple. Tribulus terrestris is widely used in tadalafil 5mg tablets alternative systems of medicines. The WOW Hall was packed with folks enamored or at least curious about what this fermentation business was all about. Claudia Sepp, Cherie Anello and I, Victoria Schneider threw ourselves into the hustle and bustle of talking about all the great information we present from Weston A Price Foundation.  We gave out lots of tri-fold brochures and signed up lots of folks for further information. Cherrie brought her electric grain grinder and a sign-up sheet for collecting names for folks who would want to go together and put in an order of 6 machines. I want one of the hand grinders so I can use sprouted whole wheat berries as the electric one can only do dry grains. Cherie has had hers for years and it is a great device.

I brought a 2 quart jar of Cortido and 350 sample cups to give away. I had made it last November and it was very well aged and delicious. I think we were unofficially voted with having the best sauerkraut overall. We also had a bowl of chopped cabbage and both the Kraut Pounder and my new Stonepounder (from Mexico) for people to try out. Lots of activity and the kids especially enjoyed it. By the end of the day we had given away all the samples, so I am guessing we had 350 to 400 people attend.

We saw many friends, ate some delicious samples and really, a good time was had by all. By the time we cleaned up and packed up, we were pooped and ready for some peace and quiet, but for sure, we will do it again, with pleasure, next year.

February 2011: From the Editor

Welcome to the new format for the Eugene Chapter Newsletter! Its a new year and we are making some changes around here.  We have changed to a blog format which will hopefully make my life easier (so I don’t have to code the newsletters individually in HTML), and allow you, our readers, to navigate easily and make comments.

I will be making changes as I get to know this new system and as time permits.  Please take some time to explore what is here so far and send feedback about how you like the new format.

Fun with Fermentation Festival:

The Eugene Chapter staffed a booth and the second annual Fun with Fermentation Festival last month. It was so nice meeting many of you there. We signed up a page and a half of new members to this newsletter! Wow! We hope you enjoy your stay.
