First post...welcome to the CHC blog!

Happy New Year!

Approx. how many times have you heard that phrase this week? At least it's well-meaning if not always sincere.

This is certainly shaping up to be a great year for our organization: we have new blood (shameless self-promotion), new ideas and strategies and a new mission statement! From the macro to the micro, CHC is looking forward to becoming the informational resource for farmers and interested consumers in the Puger Sound region.

A quick progress report:
1.) We have started the re-design process for both the CHC website (www.cascadeharvest.org) and the Puget Sound Fresh (www.pugetsoundfresh.org) website...keep checking in over the next few months for bright new changes
2.) The first Farm-to-Table Workshop is on January 14th at the Heritage Hall at the Thurston County Fairgrounds. I strongly encourage anyone in Thurston, Pierce, Lewis, Mason and Gray's Harbor counties to attend. The best business is local business...connect with local producers and buyers and strengthen our community!

Okay, that's all for now. Check back soon for an event schedule for 2008.
