Heifer Market

It's raining today but I don't care. I was smart and harvested yesterday for tomorrows market. It's usually a huge market being the last before Thanksgiving, and it is also what we call our Heifer Market. Why?

Cause we give 100% of our sales to Heifer International. It's the small part I can do to help reduce poverty around the World. For those that aren't familiar with Heifer they give livestock and training to needy families who also are required to give the first offspring/knowledge to others in their community. So not only does are gift help one family but two. And it's a gift that dosn't just last for a few meals but a lifetime. Many of the recipients are not only able to provide better nutrition for their family's, but are able to sell products and raise their standard of living and send their children to school. And the recipients also use the manure from their farm animals to enrichen their soil in their gardens and get better vegetable yeilds. Heifer also trains the farmers to use organic methods as they understand the downward spiral of pesticide/herbicide use.

So please Mother Earth I don't do this generally ever but please make the sun come out Saturday morning. Not for my benefit but for others.
