wonderful gals and their Nubian goats. They create delicious artisan
goat cheeses that are for sale in all the best wine shops, gourmet

Paul's
Grains - A family run Iowa farm that has been organic since 1964
(that's long before it was the cool thing to do, folks). Their freshly
ground certified organic grains are flat-out amazing. We love them
all but especially adore the 7-grain cereal blend, and the cornmeal
is just out of this world.

rescue work with parrots and other birds. Check out this great site!

to far to participate.
