[UrbanCropCircle] [Foodhealth] Fwd: Polyface Farm's Joel Salatin in Seattle

[Ingela Wanerstrand]

Thanks, Jennifer,for the heads up!
I heard him last year and really enjoyed it.
I bought tix for the 6pm show. Anyone else going and want to carpool?
I'm going to a free talk on trees afterwards at CUH by Arthur Lee  
Jacobsen and Mike Lee.
