Google coordinates with a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) -- to provide Googlers with access to fresh, local, organic produce (fruits & vegetables) as well as meat and fish

This talk is an educational platform about how and why our CSA partner chooses the farmers they partner with.  The discussion will include both the CSA coordinating farm, as well as some of the farmers who provide fruits, vegetables and meat to the CSA.

Speaks will include:
Becky Herbert, Herbert Family Organic Farm. She will discuss their special compost method that builds nutrients in the soil and therefore produces more nutrient-dense food. Their compost method also has a lot of ecological benefits, too. Many of our farmers either buy this compost and use on their crops or make their own using this recipe, too.

- Lisa Knutson, Pasture Chick Ranch: Would discuss her farming practices on raising healthy chickens and goats.

- Joe Morris, Morris Grassfed: He will discuss his ranching practices that are in line with the Herbert's, where the meat is nutrient-dense and he doesn't use much water because his methods enable him to not have to rely on this precious natural resource.
