We operate a small C.C.O.F. certified organic farm in Northern California.
We are
on the verge of losing our beautiful land to foreclosure. We lost our
major crop
to flooding and were unable to make our annual payment. We have tried all 
other options to no avail, a loan we felt was a sure thing fell through
and here we
are down to the FINAL hours hoping we can end this nightmare.
We have worked very hard establishing our market and improving the land
and the
mortgage holder is very aware that the property value has increased by at
least 100% due to our efforts the last two years. She would prefer to take
back the land and sell it to developers. 
We have devised a "Save The Farm" campaign. We have a specially designed
coffee mug that we will send out for each contribution of $15.00 or more.
 Contributions can be made to:
   Cottonwood Creek Farms
   17489 Gas Point Rd.
   Cottonwood, CA. 96022

   (916) 347-0315    Include your name and number of mugs desired

Time is of the esence and our resources and abilities are limited. If you 
could
help by posting this to other Newsgroups, mailing lists etc. we would be
forever
indebted to you. Whole Foods is putting flyers in their customers bags and
we 
have received a fantastic response. We are so encouraged to see that
people are 
so receptive and willing to help out their neighbors. We want to thank you
for
taking the time to read this and hopefully to help spread the word to
others.
** If somebody could post this to The Well we would appreciate it, I do
not know their address.

                                                                    
Sincerely,

                                                                     Doug
and Sharon Smedley

   P.S. If you are mailing in a contribution please e-mail us, just so we
can know
