I spent 9 years in school to do what I am doing right now and i love my work in healthcare.

I really am enthusiastic about this community. I have put my heart and soul into it and raised my sons here. Part of my enthusiasm for the tremendous product choices is that I love to cook. NF seems hung up on my 4-h raised lamb however I roasted it with fresh rosemary from my garden and paid less then if I had purchased feed lot meat at Wal mart. I guess that was my point.

I like having amazing products available at decent prices. I like purchasing them from local families who take pride in the community and use legal workers and no or minimal pesticides.

Anyway really the point is that a community is what the citizens put into it in terms of of the economy,voluteerism and pride. We are reaping the benefits locally.

Not all is perfect-most love the weather but the constant sunshine gets to me-i would prefer portlands climate.
