Overload

At the end of day two my brain and energy have entered into overload. I am just busting with new thoughts and ideas. I've met a bunch of really interesting people who I can contact now in the future as ideas morph into realities.

I have been really inspired by Bryan Gilvesy. He is working on really innovative things and I am pumped to work towards positive change in this regard at home. http://www.norfolkalus.com/ I think it would be great if the Federation of Agriculture or a partnership of people brought him to NS to speak.

Also Gwen Simpson of Inspired Market Garden was full of excellent information, ideas and strategies for Small Scale Agriculture. http://www.inspiredmarketgardens.com/ She is going to be speaking at the ACORN conference the first week of March.

Tonight we are headed out to dinner at a restaurant that is workings of a local family meat farm (pigs, cattle, chickens, lamb). I met the farmers and have had a great chat about what they are doing. I can't wait to experience it. http://www.souleio.com/

Our presentation went well. Dad did a wonderful job. It is always far less painful than one anticipates it to be.
