I can't begin to tell everyone just how much your notes have helped and inspired me. For the past few weeks while researching I thought I was all alone.

April, I bought The Complete Idiot's Guide to Eating Raw . I have just started it, and it seems to be more on my beginner's level! Perfect.

We have a local health food store but they knew nothing about any raw food groups or classes in our area. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are both two and a half hours away in Indianapolis. (I'm in Champaign, Illinois.)

Capmikee, thank you for the Illinois farm link. We have an Amish community about 45 minutes away. They might also be a wonderful resource.

I have a Kitchen Aid blender (still in the box) that I might try to begin with. A dehydrator sounds like it would helpful too. Do they have to be special ordered?

You all (can you tell my Virginia roots show!?) have been amazing and all of your help and advice is taking me to the next level!

Thank you so much!

Kathy
