The woman who took on Koch Industries to save her farm
I met this woman and her husband in East Glacier, MT in the summer of 2009.

We talked of the Wedge Coop using their farm while they took some time off and they sent me on the train to Portland, OR with Minnesota organically grown tomatoes and cucumbers.
