#1. About the whole New Moon Cafe thing. It looks like it was just a big misunderstanding in the first email Steve sent. He explained it better in his second email. I agree that some, if not most of us, would be willing to invest in food sources that are humane.
After researching area farms through <http://www.savorwisconsin.com/> , I found Cattleana Ranch, a CSA near the Oshkosh area. <http://www.savorwisconsin.com/search/detail.asp?recid=355&from=ltype1>I'm even interested in some of their packages they offer, such as vegetables. I emailed them to see what kinda meat prices they have, for businesses interested in selling. The email is found below along with attachment that has prices. This is something we could include in our CSA/campus food forum by discussing or having someone come in. I encourage everyone to look into these ideas and show their opinion.
#2 Food committee, I've obtained a free subscription for to Vegetarian Times for our earth week celebration. Lets see if we can get a couple mugs from Sodexho to give away as well.(the ones with discounted refill.)
#3 I look forward to seeing everyone next thrusday!!!!! peace Clint Freund 920-382-0521 visit for updates: www.uwosh.edu/ora www.uwosh.edu/SEAC www.villagevoice.com "ATHEIST is really a thoroughly honest, unambiguous term, it admits of no paltering and no evasion, and the need of the world, now as ever, is for clear-cut issues and unambiguous speech." -- Chapman From: "Thomas & Susan Wrchota" <wrchota@athenet.net> To: "clint freund" <clint_freund@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: Chicken prices Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 08:13:07 -0600 HI I have attached our complete price list - including chickens. We only have frozen whole chickens @ $2.49/lb. Our products are not certified organic but are all pasture raised - which most organic birds are not. To have high quality bird (vs. conventionally grown confinement that restaurants purchase) takes time and additional costs. Therefore, we are unable to offer discounts to restaurants.
