Hi All-

[Rebecca Giltner]

Just thought I would introduce myself- I was referred here by Brian Dorman, one of my oldest friends- we litereally grew up two houses apart. I love gardening, and have seen the results of organic foods and health first hand. We have 7 children still at home, and when they are on a fully organic diet, ADD disappears, allergic reactions are much more mild, and overall, they are just healthier. We have a small farm in the foothills of North Carolina, and our 88 year old neighbor is a huge help in teaching me how to get the best produce quality and quantity from our plants. We also have a small dairy operation which is completely organic as well. Right now I am still trying out recipes on the family, but by next year we plan to expand and produce a few specialty yogurt and cheese products. My focus for this year is a few unusual herbs to supply Kerres- mainly basil varieties, and a few mints. Otherwise, if you are in NC and have any recommendations for seed suppliers, restaurants, anything to see and do- please let me know (-:

Wow ! awesome. We are so happy to have you be part of FOOGS! Please send us pictures. My sister, Wendy, used to live in NC and she may be able to recommend some places.

I especially appreciate you sharing your first-hand experience with the effect that living on a fully organic had made for your children. Please share more and feel free to start a thread in the forums.
