Dear Campers,
As you can see the garden is now climbing out of the yard to the sky! It looks like we may have plenty of tomato sauce to Barter in September. Watch for more Barter Fest info coming soon.
Want to know if your food is made with GM (Geneticly Modified) ingredients?
Yeah, me too!
“On June 21, 2010, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) announced he would introduce three bills to comprehensively regulate all genetically engineered products, including a bill that would require all foods containing genetically modified ingredients to be labeled.
Most Americans simply do not understand that 80% of non-organic supermarket processed foods (basically every product containing soy, corn, canola, cottonseed oil, sugar beet derivatives or ingredients from animals fed soy or corn) are contaminated with genetically modified organisms. While nearly everyone in North America has eaten genetically modified foods, only 26% believe that they have.
People don’t think they’re eating genetically modified foods because they have no way of knowing whether they are or not. Genetically modified foods aren’t labeled.
If we’re going to save this generation from reproductive dysfunction and save our farmland from the ravages of RoundUp, we need to stop Monsanto.
The first step is to protect consumers’ right to know whether their food is genetically modified. Please ask your representatives in the US Congress to cosponsor Rep. Kucinich’s legislation. ”

Hey Campers,
Miss Amber will be showing some work at the Harvest Tyme Bistro in Wadena.
http://harvestthymebistro.com/default.aspx
The Bistro serves and supports local food and is the Abandoned Scout Camp’s favorite place to eat in the neighborhood. Ralph Cook says; “The food at the Bistro is damn good, damn damn good!”. Support your local art & food!
Loves,
A.S.C.
The ants have infested our cold frame/hot box. We should be gnawing on fresh spinach and lettuce right now, but instead here I sit an ant hater. Do you think anyone has ever domesticated an ant eater? I probably should have countered their offensive when I first noticed the little buggers sawing down the purple cauliflower like the settlers of Hewitt took down the white pine. I guess maybe it was the hippy in me that thought everyone could co exist in the cold frame. Lesson learned: when it comes to your food, sharing only happens after the harvest.
Tomorrow I will try to destroy the ants with corn meal and coffee grounds. So far the 50/50 concoction of water & apple cider vinager doesn’t seem to do anything but stink up the cold frame.
The Hewitt Barter Fest is an all day trade stuff/music/camping Festival held September 18th, 2010 in Hewitt, MN. Please contact us if you have questions and or would like to be apart of the fun!
