    Thanks Nick!  Good to hear from you!  We have been sooo busy between day to day farm operations, presentations, tours and preparing for the upcoming training, we barely even have time to check in here!  Things are going great and our community is beginning to ask for our products by name.  I don't know how I feel about those 'lettuce ladies' but whatever! Lol.  Glad to hear you are still moving forward with your plans.  Tell me more about the farming fleet trucks!  I love the idea of being mobile.  We can only get so many people to us, but you will have the ability to bring it to the masses.  Onward aquapioneer! 

     

    The grant process for the shool project has been going slowly.  After we met with the project director and found out that the programs she had in mind for us would involve a 12 to 14 hour weekly time committment from us, we had to scale it back a bit.  As much as we would love to do that, there is no way we could dedicate that much time every week.  She is now seeing if she could work us in under an existing grant they already have that would essentially have us build systems in the schools and we would teach the teachers and then be ongoing consultants.  This scenario was much more feasible for us for the time committment. 

     

    Who's your friend that is attending?  We wish you could come too.  You will just have to roll that wonderful bus down south sometime and just visit  :)

    Aloha Nick!  Thanks for accepting my friend request.  We are pretty well covered on volunteers and help for the conference, but appreciate the offer!  I wish we could work something out for you to offset costs to come, but unforutnately can't :(  Still hope you manage to make it one way or another.  Would be great to meet you and have you visit the farm.  Hopefully one day!
