THIS WEEK I ATTENDED THIS EXPO THAT HAS INCREDIBLE INTEREST AMONG HOME GARDENERS, CHEFS, FARMERS, SCHOOLS, AND THE MEDIA.IT IS THE WORLD'S FAIR OF THE HEIRLOOM LOCAL FOOD MARKET. IT HAS OVER 75 FOOD, FARM AND GARDEN SPEAKERS.
THIS IS NOT A FOR PROFIT EVENT CENTERED AROUND PURE FOOD. I ATTENDED IT LAST YEAR AND IT IS MUCH BIGGER THIS YEAR THIS YEAR OCCUPYING THREE MAJOR HALLS. THEY EVEN HAD A SMALL TEAR DROP TRAILER FOR FOLKS TO VIEW THAT IS FUEL EFFICIENT. THERE WAS AN INTERESTING ARTIST WHO VARIOUS VEGIS AND FRUITS TO LOOK LIKE FLOWERS. HE CARVED MELONS WITH HORSES AND DUCKS ON THEM. HE USED WATERMELONS TO LOOK LIKE CARVED PUMPKINS. HE DOES THIS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY..
IN ONE HALL I LISTENED TO A GUY WHO SPOKE ABOUT ABOUT GMO'S AND THE SCIENTIFIC EFFECT OF THEM. SOME FOLKS SWITCHED TO A DIET WITHOUT GMOS AND HAD BENEFICIAL EFFECTS TO THEIR HEALTH. THEY HAD A BIG HALL WITH ALL KINDS OF OF GOURDS AND HEIRLOOM SEED SELLERS, VARIOUS MELONS, GOURDS, PEARS, APPLES, HAWAIIAN FRUITS, AND PUMPKINS. SOME OF THE PUMPKINS WEIGHED OVER 400 POUNDS.
THEY HAD VARIOUS SPEAKERS IN THE SLOW FOOD MOVEMENT. THEIR WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE SAMPLING NEW FOODS WITHOUT WHEAT, AND NEW ORGANIC PASTES AND TEAS. I WAS GETTING PRETTY FULL AND
AND SPOKE TO MANY FOLKS ABOUT HOW TO FERTILIZE MY GARDEN, THEY HAD SOME OTHER EXPENSIVE AGENTS. I SAW SOME FOLKS I HAD MET AT OTHER EVENTS WHO WERE INTERESTS IN MY HIKES.
THEY HAD SEVERAL GOOD YOUNG BANDS AND MUSICAL GROUPS HERE, AS WELL AS MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE SELLING FOODS OF ALL KINDS..
