Dian,

Indeed, I just jumped on here a few days ago...why? Because Wacco is not really my thing, but the farming community in sonoma county is.... and yes, indeed, this thread was specifically...

hi
Hating on Paula or anyone is just hurtful and serves no purpose. Humans are magical and multi faceted indeed. I'm proud of Paula for earning so many loyal friends and helping out cancer patients...

Wow. OM...Oversentive misinterpretation. To call others liars just increases the vitiol. They have their opinions, based on their experiences. I am aware of favoritism that had happened when there...

"Paula Downing transformed both the Santa Rosa Original Market and the Sebastopol market. Her vilification by a small group of individuals is unfair, self-serving and does not at all reflect her...

I moved away from Sebastopol a few months ago but I thought I'd share my perspective as my heart is still deeply connected to the area. If I were still living in Seba I would be quite excited about a...

What coup? No need to be divisive. Why create unnecessary animosity and partisanship? I wish both 'new' markets in SR well. Nice to hear you had a good time. D. O.

shoulda stopped with the first phrase.<br>If you read Neil's post without focusing on 'is he on my side or on the side of those other evil bastards' you might have appreciated how well written and...

While reading through this thread, I kept thinking: Wow! We are so lucky to live in an area where small farms abound . . . AND the community wants to get their food directly from those farmers. ...

I had a similar experience as Wildflower with the Seb. market managment. I was also very frustrated and stressed by the whole notion of dealing with Paula that I just let it go. There was something...

I now boycot the Seb Farm Mkt due to my negative experience as a vendor dealing with the management of the market. I would like to see a new management team as I think Paula has used her position to...

Barry,

For the sake of harmony, I deleted my post, but of course it continues in yours and the former one.
If you read the post 'Alert! Santa Rosa Farmers Markets NOT in danger!' you will see...

Personally I like the Morning Mix much better than the recent (post-Kris and Philip) incarnations of the morning show. The topics and guests are more what I'm interested in. I hope the savekpfa...

I used to be neutral about this horrendous conflict between the so-called "SaveKPFA" faction of entrenched workers on the one hand, and KPFA/Pacifica management and many staff and supporters on the...

I don't miss The Morning Show. I really appreciate the new format. I have an hour commute in the morning and would rather hear "hard" news information than shows about art and culture and SF Bay area...

"SaveKPFA" and "KPFAWorker" are the front names for the faction in the Station Wars which I consider the "entrenched staff". As usual, there are more sides to the story. Check out this website:

For fact based accounts of what is really going on at KPFA and Pacifica, check out Carol Spooner's updates:

I am a frequent library user. Each time I check out I donate a couple of dollars. I think of all the money I am saving by having this wonderful resource available; a single book, even a used...

A small monthly fee is just a foot-in-the-door to a big fat one justified later with specious excuses like the decommissioning of Diablo Canyon (coming up sooner than later). All these decades with...

A long time ago, because of gates, dogs, long driveways,and livestock that would interfere with meter-readers, PG&E made available a device for the customers to display their meter readings at...

The original post by Kyle was amended to remove the erroneous information and include additional info, including the addition of the "NEW" descriptor; his original post no longer appears on this...

The following is a letter sent to all concerned, privately and publicly, about the posting of the <o:p></o:p>
“Occidental Community Market!!! Year-Round Indoor Market!!!”<o:p></o:p>

My name is...

Hi Everybody,

Here's a note I received from the directors of the Occidental Bohemian Farmers Market.

As was suggested earlier in the thread, I hope the two markets can find a way to coexist...

Well, ultimately the whole globe is our community.
But I believe when "thinking locally", West County and all its hard-working farmers and families, elders and babies, goats and chickens, trees and...

I am a little confused about this farmer's market.

I fully support a year round venture, but I don't support the way this post villifies the current market manager and the way this market is...
