Hello,

I just wanted to announce the launching of a new organization,

The Small Holders' Alliance. SHA is a new initiative from the

Northeast Organic Farming Association's Massachusetts chapter.

Our goal at this point is to bring together those who wish to

practice small scale dairying with those who would like to buy

farmstead-produced dairy products, such as artisan cheeses, yogurt

and raw milk. We will be gathering information to facilitate

farmstead dairy production, making equipment and knowledge

available to dairy operators, and supporting the right of the small

holder to exist in this increasingly urban environment.

SHA is open to all small scale dairy operators; those with a family

cow, goats or sheep. Organic practices are not required, just an

openness and enthusiasm for the work at hand. If you'd like more

information, please visit the SHA webpage at

www.hamesaxle.com/sha.htm or email SHA@....

Thank you,

Garland

SHA Coordinator
