Last year, Roberta Nathe, who is Secretary-Treasurer of the Cold Spring Area Historical Society, invited me to do a Farm Heritage Program for their History series on November 16, 2011. Rita Hennen, Showcase Coordinator, saw the program and thought my books would be a good fit for the spring showcase so she invited me to do a couple short seminars and offered us a booth to sell our books.

Nancy and I enjoyed talking to farmers of all ages and genders, but especially fun was the time we spent swapping stories about growing up on the farm with the two sisters pictured below.

Pictured above is Matthew Willenbring, who owns and operates a farm that offers the opportunity to "Adopt a Hen,"which is a program that assures participants of a dependable source of farm-fresh eggs "from chickens raised with care and compassion for the conscientious-minded consumer." His brochure details his feeding program and the benefits, and advertises that answers to questions are just a phone call away. 320-250-1624. Obviously, distance may be an issue, but if you live close to Cold Spring, you may want to check it out.
Nancy and I thank all the folks who stopped to visit and buy books.We especially thank Rita Hennen, who organized the event and invited us to participate.
