PUYALLUP, WASH.
Cows eat only the best grass.
When those cows live in Humboldt County, California, they get to
spend their days, season after season, grazing on lush pastures.
What does this mean for you? Simply delicious milk with naturally
occurring Omega-3 and CLA thats
non-homogenized to be the closest
to the way Mother Nature intended.
It truly is the cream,
on the top, of the crop!

Washington Fairgrounds, we refected on the fun we have sharing time with

digital media and we get together in person at a MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR.
Your enthusiasm makes our work worthwhile!
Weve packed the FAIR schedule full of what we feel are some of the greatest
personalities, ideas, concepts and projects for solving the basic puzzles of

All of them do outstanding work. We are honored by their friendship.
