Mendocino Renegade

Els Cooperrider is an energetic lady. She co-founded the Mendocino Organic Network, which began an organic peer-certification service for local growers. Their Mendocino Renegade label means products are "beyond organic" and local. She also led Mendocino to become the first U.S. county to be GMO-free -- genetically-modified organisms cannot be grown there. Her eatery, Ukiah Brewing Co. & Restaurant, is America's first certified organic brew pub, and serves seasonal local ingredients.

this video goes well with the organic meat post I tossed up when I heard the FDA is now allowing cloning in the factory farms.

Pretty scary to think the beef, pork and other foods we eat may be cloned, and we have no idea of the effects. I highly recommend seeing "The Future of Food" about genetically-modified organisms and their already-disastrous affects. Eat local, eat organic!
