The Valley – Ficksburg, South Africa (rustlers valley, rustler's valley, rustler valley)
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow video of a travel blog to Rustler’s Valley, South Africa by TravelPod blogger Cpricci. See this TripWow and more at tripwow.tripadvisor.com The Valley “We woke on Sunday morning and took it easy getting to Rustler’s. Mycol found a load of mushrooms before I was even awake – some great agaricus (campestris? I usually don’t eat wild agarics myself, but Frank and Mycol are into it.), giant puffballs and a really nice chicken mushroom. “Rustler’s Valley” (www.rustlers.co.za) is the name of the retreat center/permaculture center/festival venue. The valley itself is also called Rustler’s Valley, and icludes a polo center called Franshoek, a couple other resort-type places, a few black villages and big beautiful sandstone moutains all around. We woke up Dale Millard around noon, checked out his amazing plant collection (ask me about these later), cooked a mushroomy lunch, and went on a hike to “The Eye of the Sangoma,” a forty foot tall sandstone arch on a huge fault line that runs perpindicular to the valley and its walls. Welcome to Rustler’s Valley. All the fruit was coming ripe in the garden. I had my first gorging of plums. I’ve never seen so much fruit, in such variety, so perfectly organic (never sprayed, just mulched, and sometimes not even that) and self perpetuating, ripe on the tree and just days from falling off. The birds could sit on the branches and eat one or two bites out of fruit after fruit and there was still plenty for everyone else …

what a macaw eats part 1
Mshorselover8 requested a vid a while ago (sorry about the delay! ^.^;) about what I feed my macaw. Part one covers his staple diet. Part two covers treats and fresh foods that we usually give him. For the list of items I mention for a day’s worth of food: Pellets: I use ZuPreen, veggie and fruit flavoured. Runs about for both bags which last 4 months. He gets a small handful of the veggie pellets and half of that of the fruit flavour. Dry fruit and nuts (I buy these in bulk at the grocery store so that I can get small amounts): 1 tb. raw Spanish peanuts (I try to buy locally grown and organic if possible. Ask your grocer if they don’t post it). I buy 1lb and it lasts a month or two. Haven’t tracked these yet. 1 tb. fruit and nut mix. My fruit and nut mix changes based on what I remember to buy to restock the stash, but it can include: dried pineapple banana chips raw cashews dried papaya and cantaloup spears dried apricot dried pear raw pumpkin seeds coconut flakes cheerios brazil nuts dried mango Don’t let the bulk price per pound scare you away from buying these! The most expensive item on the list are the raw cashews at something a pound, but mostly because I buy close to a pound each time. Everything else, because I’m only buying handful amounts to cut up and mix in, really only comes out to .20 and something an item. The full jar of mix that you see in the vid lasts about a month or two. Haven’t tracked this either, but I’ll approximate it this round and …
David Wolfe and Super foods
www.superfoodhealthyliving.com Goji berries, sometimes called Wolfberries, are perhaps the most nutritionally-rich fruit on the planet. Goji berries contain 18 kinds of amino acids (six times higher than bee pollen) and contain all 8 essential amino acids (such as isoleucine and tryptophan). Goji berries contain up to 21 trace minerals (the main ones being zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus). Goji berries are the richest source of carotenoids, including beta-carotene (more beta carotene than carrots), of all known foods or plants on earth! They contain 500 times the amount of vitamin C, by weight, than oranges making them second only to camu camu berries as the richest vitamin C source on earth. Goji berries also contain vitamins B1, B2, B6, and vitamin E.

Granita – Italian Ice
A super simple and refreshing treat for hot summer nights. Feel free to use organic juice.
A good Sunday breakfast menu would be: Spinach Frittata, Berries Fruit Salad, a great cake…to be enjoyed with the second round of coffee. Kids will happily eat eggs with vegetables and all the fruit you might want/need to shove into their faces, before they actually get to enjoy a fabulous organic cake. FRITTATA Ingredients: 8 Brown grade AA eggs 2 Tbsp of fresh grated parmesan 1 Tbsp of butter 1/4 Cup of whole milk Salt and Pepper Brake the eggs in a bowl. Add the Parmesan, the Milk, Salt and Pepper. Mix well all the ingredients…using a fork is the best…use your wrist! In a large non stick pan, melt the butter on a low flame….melt it, do not bring it to a boil… When the butter is melted and well spread into the pan, and your eggs are properly mixed, …it’s time to check the fridge…are there any left overs you would like to add to your frittata? If so, add them directly into the bowl, mix it up well and cook. If you intend to saute’ some vegetables from scratch, before you actually make your frittata (like I did in this episode), make sure you take them off the stove and mix them with the eggs before you put them back into the pan. Pour the eggs into the pan, and cover with a lid. On a medium low flame (more on the low side to prevent burning the bottom), your frittata should be ready in about ten minutes. When ready, take the lid off and let it rest for a few minutes, then gently slide the frittata on a serving plate…do not cut in the pan, unless you are …

Val's New Vita Mix Making A Green Smoothie
I usually use some fresh organic kale as well. I never measure what I put into it- no need to. You just add whatever available veggies and fruit you have and mix. It’s easy and nourishing. Full of magnesium! 
Don;’ forget the water.

Community Roots: Growing local food from local hands for local people.
Ten years ago a group of moms dedicated to nurturing healthier, safer food for Spokane founded a nonprofit and started building relationships with local farmers, buying local organic/safe food, and selling this nutritious food to our community. This year we started a two-acre Permaculture farm where we teach farmers, gardeners, and youth how to grow safe food, save seeds, and build soil. By producing food locally we eliminate environmental impacts of long-haul trucking, and by Permaculture organic farming we respect the eco-system and build soil while growing the most nutritious, delicious food, without harmful chemicals. Our Green Effect includes three small steps of building a vibrant local food community by uniting a diversity of hands to increase production of local food for local consumption: Hire a facilitator to organize labor, direct farm hands, and create an interactive learning environment that nurtures meaningful relationships with our food, our community, and our environment. Bring a diversity of volunteer farm hands (teens/adults doing community service, folks on public assistance, service learning students, work release inmates, community volunteers) to the farm to experience planting and harvesting, learn valuable skills, and be inspired to grow food. Launch a local media campaign to show people how to grow food, and to show the importance of growing local food by creating an educational website; participating at 20 community events; creating six, ten …
