Default Sad story worth repeating concerning Walnut Acres


Used to place a monthly order that I could pick up at a drop off house
about 5 miles away. All sorts of foods from small producers. The dates
rolled in coconut whew. The stables and the monthly note from Paul.
So human seemed like family hell they were told to do good work
providing food from some skinny Indian guy in 1946. Then it was gone
no clue as to what happened. Found this PDF much latter which answered
questions but could not address the void. Organic with a face and
vitality and other attributes gone.

Still have Eden Foods but I was spoiled.

Anyway a good read even if sad.
