    Pete, thank you for what you do... you're work is so important! I am an American who has lived in Europe and I have been a follower of your work for many years. The most important insight I gained from that part of my life is how Europen peope understood that local farms are the lifeblood of the people (...though many of those farms are now beginning to disappear). When flying back over US towns it was astounding to me how isolated Americans have become from the foods that sustain them... there are hardly any local farms anymore. I feel you are helping remedy this by aiding individual families to become more sustainable... and with the grace of God I pray your work will expand outward from individuals, to neighborhoods, to communities and beyond. I wish you unbelievable success in your endeavors and God speed your efforts Pete! Thank you.

    Jim provides us with wild bodacious blueberries here in the Banana Republic of Florida- spring, winter and fall. Some go to the Tarpon Springs FL CSA/ food coop I belong to - upon his return from his summer in Maine. Makes for an amazing breakfast of granola, yogurt and the blue gems he brings back!

    Yummy! My sister has that right outside her small town in the middle or Sweden. Wild blueberries are just so tasty and some are tart and make the greatest jams and juices if you get sick of eating them fresh. We also go and pick chanterelles in the fall and they are really expensive if you can get them in the store. Nature's pantry!
