Slow Money Relay

Dear Relay Friends,

As we go about our busy, base-covering lives, every now and then we're reminded -- sometimes with a jolt -- that we are not alone, that our goals are shared by others across the nation, and that there are many efforts underway to bring farms and people together, to their mutual benefit.

Recently, Relay was nominated by the folks at Slow Money, a grassroots, not-profit seed capital fund, to participate in a contest to high-light small businesses that support sustainable agriculture, community food systems, and what they call a "restorative economy."

We went to their site and what an awakening! Right alongside the Relay we found small companies like us -- each a bit different -- but all searching for the best way to create ways for folks to eat better food, source that food locally, and build better communities. The contest will reward the business that receives the most "votes" with an advertising campaign cash award (a line item in our small budgets that often doesn't get much love).

Please take a moment to support Relay by visiting Slow Money at this link:

You get 10 votes. You can vote up to 3 times for Relay -- and spread them around, if you like. You may also vote for 10 different businesses, or anything in-between.

Thanks in advance!
