THANK-YOU SO MUCH!

This wouldn't have been possible without the support of literally thousands of people who spoke up in favor of Gardens of Eagan and organic farms. (Over 4,800 letters were sent to the ALJ!). The testimonies of our expert witnesses, Dr. Deborah Allen, Jim Riddle and Craig Minowa were extremely valuable. Barth Anderson, Lindy Bannister and the Wedge Co-op were so helpful with writing and PR. Mississippi Market and Charlie sent over 1,250 letters! All the Twin Cities co-ops got the word out through newsletters and in store information. Eureka Township and Dakota county passed resolutions. Dr. Carl Rosen, Dr. Cindy Tong and Dr. Deon Stuthman of the U of M wrote respected letters of support. Leah Johnston and the Pulse article! O.C.A, Dana Jackson and Land Stewardship and MOSES kept people informed. Bob Patton and Meg Moynihan at the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and the Organic Advisory Task force worked vary hard and played a positive role in identifying the differences between organic and conventional agriculture and the need to be more protective of organic lands.
