Were any of you part of the Driftless Bioregional Network? This is page one of a newsletter that went out in early 1984. Note the Viroqua address. I would love to hear stories…
Driftless Region Food & Farm Project
regenerative agriculture in service to community well-being
Hi Bob – I am Joyce Ford and was part of the Driftless Bioregional Network back in the 1980’s. I have some copies of “The Drift” newsletter that Larisa Walk edited for the organization. And have many memories of the fun we had each quarter. We also were able to help each other with alternative energy projects. I continue to live at Wiscoy Valley Community Land Cooperative in SE MN. I also have a list of people who signed up for The Drift, as well as a copy of “Ecological Politics and Bioregionalism” by David Haenke, published by New Life Farm, Inc. (Missouri) in 1984. I would be happy to turn all this material over to you. My cell phone is 507-459-2478. My husband, Jim Riddle, currently operate Blue Fruit Farm. I will be at the MOSES Conference next week. Thanks. Joyce
Joyce, if Bob doesn’t want it, I wonder if the material you have could be included in the Wisconsin State Historical Society’s organic collection? I can’t make the conference this weekend, so would need to figure out another way to get the materials from you. Thank you for saving these historical materials. Very important!
