    I definitely understand the importance of your project and I'm going to spend some time driving around this Summer looking for locations.

    I hate the current USA culture! Yuck! If you can even call it culture …

    Ok, Samantha, so we'll skip the Straus Family Creamery. ;) Their loss. Please share your discoveries as you keep thinking about products. Also, send in what you discover this summer. Please stay in touch.

    By the way, my hope is we will reach a critical mass of places and at some point in the future we will be able to start designing group regional tours.
