>After the WTO inspiration---and it absolutely was for those who attended the
>"alternative" farmer day---a group of us have started to meet on Vashon
>Island to develop a new food system, starting with our community.  So far
>we've a vision and mission statement and are now wondering how best to
>approach the broader community to start the wheels turning.  The crucial
