President’s Message
by Sally Fallon Morell
Dear Members:
With this issue we celebrate twenty years of the Weston A. Price Foundation—the date of our incorporation was September 2, 1999! See pages ten and twenty-five for a walk down memory lane.
In honor of our birthday, WAPF has launched a campaign called the Fifty-Fifty Pledge, a drive asking our members to spend at least 50 percent of their food dollar purchasing raw milk and raw milk products, meat, poultry, eggs, produce and other nutrient-dense foods directly from local farmers and artisans.
In today’s world of corporate agriculture and food industry consolidation, the only way that we can save our pasture-based, pesticide-free farms is to make a conscious effort to purchase food directly from conscientious farmers. If you are lucky enough to live near such a farm, just make a habit of visiting the farm every week or two. If you are far from a farm, consider banding together with a few friends to take turns picking up your farm food, or join one of the many food clubs that deliver farm-fresh food to food drops.
Moreover, the highest quality food today is mostly produced on regenerative family farms. For those of you not in the habit of purchasing from a farm, you can start now by giving yourself and your family the gift of improved health by patronizing your local farmer. For sources of local food, contact your WAPF chapter leader or go to websites like realmilk.com and farmmatch.com. The health of present and future generations depends on a prosperous small-farm sector.
Purchasing your food directly from local farmers doesn’t mean you have to forego the world’s marketplace. With the other 50 percent of your food dollar, you can celebrate how small the world has become, enjoying rice and pineapple, spices and exotic ingredients from remote parts of the globe. Modern technology gives us terrible processed food—which we need to make every effort to avoid—but also allows us to have the best of both worlds, local and international.
We are looking forward to the best of everything—food, speakers, exhibitors, friends, networking—at Wise Traditions 2019, our 20th annual conference! We hope you will join us to celebrate. We have a terrific program planned, with many new speakers as well as perennial favorites. For further information and to register, see pages fourteen to seventeen, or visit wisetraditons.org.
