Stuart Iowa 2020 Tourist Attraction Online Sales For Local
Businesses Plus
SUMMARY: As we learn, we produce an online manual. In it,
free ads for local merchants are placed. These ads are for things they can sell
online. Our ‘feed local’ expertise carves a niche in the growing market, such
that by 2020 (our 150th) people are starting to come to Stuart to
see how we’re doing it. The local paper runs this website and manual updating
and ad campaigns. Everyone benefits—the hungry are fed, the merchants prosper,
we exhibit The Roseto Effect. In ‘Outliers,’ Gladwell tells the story of
Roseto, PA, where gardening was encouraged, and community festivals, and there
were ‘no heart attacks’.

and the same on Facebook. We generally encourage more people to garden more, to
share with the food stressed. One in eight are food stressed, 40% of WCV
students qualify for free or reduced price meals, etc. [Note: Food can be grown
year-round, without heating greenhouses, says ‘Four Season Harvest, and greens
are grown even in the Arctic winters of Kotzebue, Alaska.] We were inspired by
Todmorden, UK, which wanted to be self-sufficient in vegetables.
What should be done next?
1—We are FLSC are vowed to continue through 2020. Much of
what we’ve done can be seen on our Facebook Page, but a community garden it
high on the list of accomplishments. Next year might come Good E.G.G.s
(Experienced.Gardening.Guides to help new gardeners.
2—Captain Stuart founded a town community to serve the food
producers in the local area by the Big Move of his day, the railroad. Can we grow our community to serve food
producers inn towns around the world via the Big Mover of today, the internet?
3—If Des Moines builds a string of greenhouses to grow food
locally, what does that—and other big plans--do to us? IT HELPS US! A smaller company
pioneered synthetic motor oil, and when asked what the entry of Mobil, a giant
company, meant to them, they replied that it helped them, because Mobil could
popularize synthetic motor oil, with their big ad budget, and the smaller
company could then concentrate on how the small company’ motor oil was
better. The small company could never
have reached the billions of people that Mobil’s ads reached.
4—Somebody will take over the website, and help produce the
manual. I recommend The Stuart Herald. Someone
on staff could run it and update the story as it happens. Nick Selman? Tod Broman? Margery Watts? The
free ads could be placed right in the stories/manual. (What could a local business sell online?
Almost anything they sell offline, I’d say—and things tied to Good Egg Days of ‘feeding
locally’.)

This is short.
Contact us below, please. Thanks.
1--It started with Todmorden UK—they wanted to become
self-sufficient in vegetables.
2-- Kotzebue in Arctic Alaska has figured out how to grow
fresh vegetables in the dead of winter.
3—Stuart’s people are hungry. Students, 1 in 8, ‘food
stamps’—a National Geographic article. We want to add our help.
4—We propose that more garden more and share. Churches
competing more in finding and feeding could be helped by more food grown.
5—‘Winter Harvest’ and other resources show us how to grow
year ‘round. (Sprouting too). There are mats to lay down for flowers to attract
songbirds, butterflies, etc.—couldn’t we make some for veggies?
6—We’ve started. Community garden, canning school
(upcoming), acres donated, seeds too. Presentations by the experienced.
7—Chuck thinks Captain Stuart’s founding of a town to help
farmers along the Big Mover—railroad—can be adapted to the present as we help
other community farmers along the Big Mover—internet—and that a manual of how
we are doing it could include ads for local businesses to sell online.
8—Hey, please just contact us at our Facebook Page or
website, Feed Locally – Stuart Community. We’d like your help, and so would the
1 in 8 that are ‘food-stressed’. [I’m at edencity@aol.com, or Charles Howard
Hartman on Facebook (see Notes), or chuckhartmanhistoryconductor]
PS: Seed mats—roll out, water, watch it grow—we could make
‘em for veggies (I repeat). Free Little Library -> Free Little Food Pantries
(in Omaha, e. g.). Hunger Trees for every church? Library, New Beginnings
Church, permaculture, straw bale gardening, etc.

Robert Cook Charles Howard Hartman George Luckinbill picked
out walnut meats for years and sold them by the pint. Right Paul G Luckinbill?
Charles Howard Hartman, as the article you posted the other day reminds us,
preventing waste of food and encouraging skills improvement in
preserving/cooking foods is just as important as growing more. Huge batches of
home made soups, frozen for later meals can help feed young families affordably
and in a healthier manner than typical modern diets. I bet your mother and
grandmother knew how to make soups and casseroles!

Charles Howard Hartman Yes indeed! Sheila Troy Plowman, Jo
Controlfreak Pudans, Carl Egger, Robert Cook is telling us wisdom about wasted
food, and I've read that 40% of food is wasted in America. What should be out
plan? PS: The Sunday Register wrote yesterday that 1 in 5 school children are
obese--a sign of malnutrition.

Robert Cook Charles Howard Hartman Malnutrition caused by
two elements. Low incomes and lack of food and cooking skills. Soups and
casseroles fed generations as they extended meat to feed many affordable and
with healthy ingredients.
