Expanding Scope on Organic Food & Beverage Market Growth Rate, Key Methodologies and Future Opportunities with forecast 2020-2029 - True Version

LAKEWOOD, Colo.,Dec. 10, 2019/PRNewswire/ --Natural Grocers, America's Nutrition Education ExpertSM, surveyed the company's nutrition experts and pored over the latest research to identify the expectedTop 10 Nutrition Trendsin nutrition and health in 2020.

The author, Natural Grocers' Manager of Scientific Affairs and Nutrition Education Shelby Miller, MS in Dietetics and Exercise Science, pinpoints the most anticipated health, nutrition and food trends in the New Year. Interviews withShelby Millerare available upon request.[1]

1.Begin to Address Our Single-Use Plastic Problem

2019 brought home the very real consequences of our single-use plastic-laden lifestyles. Single-use plastics require vast quantities of fossil fuels and water, which contribute to climate change and pollution. Plastic bags, bottles, utensils, straws, and food packaging are used briefly, but live on in the environment for generations. The good news? The demand for plastic-free alternatives is higher than ever and because of this growing consumer focus, the industry is responding. The more we reduce the demand for single-use plastics and instead purchase reusable bottles, bags, straws and utensils, the better it is for our health and the environment.

TRY THIS TREND:Invest in Stasher Bags for perfect plastic-free lunches or swap out bottled liquid soap for Moon Valley Organic bar soaps.

2.Foundational Supplements to Help Us Thrive

Some say that eating a proper diet is all you need to get the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients required for optimal health. But despite our best efforts, we often miss the nutritional mark by eating suboptimal foods that lack key nutrients. A simple daily regimen of Five-to-Thrive Foundational Supplements can help catapult us into optimal health.

TRY THIS TREND:If you haven't already, set yourself up for success with these foundational nutrients including a multivitamin, EPA & DHA, lutein, and magnesium. Talk to your Nutritional Health Coach (NHCSM) at Natural Grocers to figure out which super nutrient can help you best reach your health goals!

3.Salt & Butter Are Healthy. Yes. Healthy.

Modern nutrition science is forcing us to question many long-accepted nutritional paradigms. Two of the paramount examples are salt and butter ingredients that make healthy vegetables more delicious (seriously, name one vegetable that isn't improved with salt and butter), but that we've all been taught to feel guilty about indulging in. However, new data shows that we might suffer from gettingtoo littlesodium and fat rather than too much.

Sodiumis, in fact, a necessary electrolyte. In addition, fats, especially saturated fats, have been demonized for far too long. Research shows that saturated fats are not detrimental to health and in fact play a crucial role in our body's daily functioning. The real culprit driving poor health is sugar and chemically modified fats like mono- and diglycerides and hydrogenated vegetable oils.

TRY THIS TREND:Add someRedmond Realsalt and lemon juice to your water bottle and if you haven't jumped on the Kerrygold Butter bandwagon yet, take the leap!

4.Responsible Plant-Based Choices

Climate change is the single most important challenge facing us today. The plant-based diet is a popular habit many are adopting with hopes of reducing their carbon footprint and protecting Mother Earth. As well-intentioned as the plant-based approach may be, if we really think about the foods we eat, many of the mainstream, plant-based products aren't as earth-friendly as we might think.

Plant-based meat substitutions that rely on conventionally grown primary ingredients are the opposite of good for the environment. If GMOs, fertilizers, pesticides, and other industrial farming practices were utilized to make your soy burger, it'smoredetrimental to the environment. If plant-based is the route for you, try to shift to truly sustainable plant-based food choices. Support organic farming methods that foster soil health and can reverse climate change by essentially sucking the carbon out of the atmosphere and depositing it into the ground, where it belongs.

TRY THIS TREND:Look no further than the organic produce at Natural Grocers (it's the only produce we carry) and hunt for that USDA organic seal with an unheard-of-level of enthusiasm.

5.Brain Hacking: Nutrients to Shield Our Brains from Stress

Let's face it, we're all stressed out, and whether it's acute or chronic, stress is bad news for our brains you've likely experienced the mental exhaustion, poor mood, and lack of focus and memory that results from stress; even worse, prolonged stress can lead to depression and anxiety. Become proactive at protecting your noggin from the negative effects ofstresswith nutrients shown to support the brain's ability to cope with stress.

Phosphatidylserine (PS)is a phospholipid, and studies show it can help improve cognition and support the hippocampus, a region of the brain that bears the brunt of stress. Acetyl-L-carnitine has the unique ability to pass through the blood-brain barrier where it supports mental energy, improves cognitive function and focus, and fights depression.Mushroomslike lion's mane, cordyceps, and reishi support mental acuity, energize the brain, and support concentration and clarity during times of stress.[2]

TRY THIS TREND:Read up on the scientific research behind phosphatidylserine, acetyl-L-carnitine, and the mood-supporting mushroom supplements and see how they can support you.

6.Health Coaching: Offering the One-on-One Support You Need

The average patient-doctor interaction lasts a mere seven minutes. This doesn't offer nearly enough time to provide one-on-one, personalized wellness solutions for your health concerns. Thus, more and more people are turning to health coaches for nutrition know-how based on science and validated research.

At Natural Grocers, we put the emphasis on nutrition with our NHCs, who receive more than 160 hours of science-based continuing education and nutrition training annually. The aim of ourNHCsis to help individuals live their best and healthiest lives by focusing on their individual health needs and goals in a personalized and supportive way. Our NHCs are all credentialed and all of their services, including 90-minute individualized coaching sessions, are FREE.

TRY THIS TREND:Let us help you achieve the health results you crave. Reach out to your NHC and rewrite your story!

7.Regenerative Agriculture to Fight Climate Change

There is nothing more important than our food choices when it comes to our own health and to the health of the planet. Climate change is a daunting challenge that is facing all of us and we can all make a difference by choosing food grown using regenerative agriculture. Organic produce, grass-fed and pasture-based animal products and biodynamic olive oil and wines are foods that not only support our overall health and wellbeing but have the potential, when done right, to help reverse climate change.

Regenerative agricultureis defined as farming and grazing practices that, among other things,reverseclimate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded nutrients, resulting in soil that can sequester CO2 from the atmosphere and improve the water cycle. At Natural Grocers, we strongly believe that our food choices can affect real change and one of the most measurable ways to support the health of the planet is to support farmers and ranchers practicing regenerative land management.

TRY THIS TREND:Try some tasty Thousand Hills grass-fed ground beef or beef jerky andread upon how regenerative agriculture is making it easy to inspire change with our food choices.

8.Biohack Your Health with Methylation Adaptogens

"Methylation" has become a buzzword among the health and wellness community, and while it may not yet be on your radar, it is one of the most important biohacks for health out there, and methylation adaptogens make it easier to manage. Methylation is required for just about every single process that goes on in the body, from gene expression to the production of RNA and DNA, to the production of neurotransmitters to mitochondrial health.

But balance is the key. When balanced, when the body does not over or under methylate all of these systems work and we feel great. We sleep well, have loads of energy, can focus, remember and learn, our joints don't ache, and our cardiovascular system is in tip-top shape. On the other hand, methylation imbalances can lead to a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, heart disease, increased risk of cancer, hormone imbalance, poor detox capacity, infertility, birth defects, fatigue, and low energy.

Methylation adaptogens help to restore methylation balancewell and include nutrients like lutein, curcumin, and grape seed extract. These are nutrients that gently support our body's own ability to stabilize and balance methylation, without the risk of over or under-methylating.

TRY THIS TREND:Explore the new research on methylation and hypermethylation and check out some of the methylation adaptogens that are also Foundational Supplements such as lutein.

9.Mental Wellbeing Prioritized

Mental health is just as important as physical health and we need to shift focus to supporting mental wellbeing with a healthy diet and the right supplements.

Explore ways to support mental health, with products such as Bach flower remedies and essential oils, as well as supplements like magnesium and acetyl-L-carnitine, all powerful tools to help bring balance and calm. Take a holistic approach and look to modalities like meditation, emotional freedom technique (EFT), body energy work, and talk therapy in combination with nutrition and supplements to support mental wellbeing.

TRY THIS TREND:Check out Bach Rescue Pastilles, the new Calm magnesium gummies, or pick up one of the new EO essential oil rollers to keep in your back pocket for when you need some re-centering.

10.Support Your GI Tract from Top to Bottom

Learning to appreciate our gut bugs has opened our eyes to the idea that having healthy digestion is the "first domino" to supporting the rest of our healthincluding our immune system, brain health, and more. But supporting digestion isn't simply taking a probiotic and loving your large intestine. Learn how to support the health of your entiregastrointestinal tractand how to promote intestinal wellness with nutrients like DGL, zinc carnosine, and L-glutamine that nourish and heal the lining of the intestinal tract. Digestive enzymes are also coming to center stage to support our small intestine and its daunting daily task of breaking down the foods we eat into the nutrients we need to support every single cell and bodily process. Every. Single. One.

TRY THIS TREND:Read up on how to best support yourdigestive healthand digestive comfort and do something today to treat your gut to a little TLC. Try a cup of bone broth or a kombucha for an easy first step.

Natural Grocers Predicts The Top 10 Nutrition Trends In 2020 - VendingMarketWatch

We radiate data every day, all day. The more we interconnect, the more our information exhaust gets captured and refined into dark dossiers that identify and define us to unknown parties for unknown purposes. It's part of the reason why certain ads seem to know us better than we know ourselves. Algorithms mysteriously assemble our data into occasionally accurate predictions, but we're dispossessed of the knowledge to understand how it works. We're referred to by pseudonyms instead of the names our parents gave us, hashed numbers assigned as our unique identifiers. These mysterious IDs link us to our shadow profiles pumping through the data supply chain in high-speed auctions without our express knowledge or unambiguous consent. It's much easier to believe the conspiracy theory that our phones are always listening to us than it is to grasp the alien machine brain that has been modeling us in a simulation to get us to click, scroll, swipe and spend.

You may have seen the documentary The Great Hack that is, unless the algorithm decided not to push it on you. Along with Carole Cadwalladr, the reporter who broke the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and Brittany Kaiser, a former CA employee who recently published a memoir, the film follows my personal journey into the heart of darkness that was this data privacy cataclysm, trying to get my own data back. (For those who need a quick refresher on the saga, Cambridge Analytica, the Steve Bannon co-founded spin-off of a British military contractor that was bought by American far-right mega donor Robert Mercer, was hired by the Trump and Cruz campaigns to micro-target voters with psychologically enriched profiles generated from an illegal data-harvesting scheme that used a personality quiz to pilfer the data from 87 million unsuspecting Facebook users. Then, 30 million of those profiles were matched to voter files, allowing a data model to be generated that was applied to more than 200 million registered voters, even if they weren't on Facebook. I sued them in the UK for this mass data abuse against our country.)

There was something particularly surreal about having my name mentioned in UK Parliamentary hearings, especially after waking up before dawn in New York to watch the livestreams of the committee hearings in London investigating the scandal. The film captures me live-tweeting Parliament, digesting the incredible revelations from witnesses giving evidence in real time. Along with this public evidence, I excavated court filings from my lawsuit to find the legal proof that my worst fears had been justified that Cambridge Analytica had indeed interfered in our democracy.

Strangely, I had standing to sue because in a weird twist of fate, the infamous Cambridge Analytica ended up exporting Americans' voter data into the United Kingdom. As a consequence, this exposed their data crimes to European law, which grants people simple, fundamental data rights, rights that we don't (yet) grant ourselves in America. This includes the right to request your data from companies and organizations that collect and process it within the UK, regardless of citizenship. That means I wouldn't have had this legal right if Cambridge Analytica had kept our voter data here at home.

In the end, my effort to repatriate my voter profile resulted in the only criminal conviction of the company because they refused to hand over all my data as ordered by the UK's data cops, the Information Commissioner's Office. The company offered me about a dozen data points after bragging it had up to 5,000 data points for all American adults. Experts that reviewed my data suspected that it was not only incomplete but also unlawfully assembled on UK soil.

Shining a bright light on this cloak-and-dagger world of mass data abuse revealed how personal data leakage is being exploited by a shadowy international election interference industry. The common sentiment "I don't care about my privacy because I have nothing to hide" doesn't grapple with how rogue actors don't have to abuse your own data in order to try and hack the whole electorate and alter the course of history. As Brittany Kaiser, the former CA employee who was featured in The Great Hack, described it to me when I asked her how she responds to people resigned to privacy apathy, she pointed out that "some people will use your data to manipulate you into hating your neighbor, or not wanting to vote. Others will make billions of dollars off of selling your data to others without your knowledge, sharing none of that value with you." Her new memoir Targeted makes a compelling case that leaving it up to people to opt out, rather than requiring that they first opt in, makes our country vulnerable to deception. In that way, data rights laws offer a kind of herd immunity against mass data abusers, but this saga also laid bare for Americans that we don't have equal data rights to our friends and allies in the EU.

Given these eye-opening, eye-watering revelations, people understandably want to know what they can do to protect themselves from all this data leakage. While the vast majority of us can't go off the grid, we can limit the flood of data coming out. Being privacy-defensive online is a bit like paying extra for organic food: It feels better to try and support the more ethical option, even if the overall impact on the massive global data industries involved may be minuscule. And building up your personal data privacy defenses is not just good self-care. It's a boycott of unfair industry practices and unchecked corporate power.

But similar to the carbon pollution problem, data radiation is a new facet of the human condition that we are made to feel personally responsible for, despite government being the only viable mechanism available to us that has ever succeeded at inhibiting such profit-driven destruction on an industrial scale. Just as government has so far refused to enact sweeping new policies to combat climate change, leaving us on our own to fight global warming via consumption choices that are limited to whatever the market offers (recycling, electric cars, organic and vegan foods), we are stuck contending with ad hoc market-based solutions to deal with mass data abuse (i.e., adblockers, lawsuits, privacy settings). It's a special kind of gaslighting that we are the ones who have been made to feel guilty about having our data abused by transnational organized crime to subvert our democracies.

Most laws, especially outside of the EU, which grants data rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, generally impose all the consequences of making false choices on consumers. In America, we have virtually no data rights outside of rather narrow situations, like being a student in school (FERPA) or a patient in a clinical setting (HIPAA) or a kid (COPPA). Of course, no one reads the privacy policy anyway because there's no way to understand the implications.

Because we are mandated to do the work of being defensive by the corporate regime that insists "we care about your privacy" but never defines what that means, it takes time, patience and perseverance to send the signals to the marketing surveillance industrial complex that you want out. Even so, you are contributing to an analytic that will be measured, expressing your preference to be left alone and to see ads detached from your dark data dossier. The more of us that do the work to opt out, the more the industry will measure our boycott and fail at lobbying lawmakers to water down and loophole new data rights bills being drafted in statehouses and on The Hill.

To become more privacy-defensive and join the boycott, the first thing to do is consider how much Facebook and Google you can eliminate from your life. Most of us probably cannot practically delete our accounts (hate to break it to you, but Instagram and WhatsApp are also owned by Facebook), but if you're lucky enough to not depend on these platforms for your school or job, you probably won't miss them that much.

Dig deep into the settings to hunt for the switches that turn ad targeting and personalization off. In your Google account settings, you flick switches to "pause" data collection or set your data to auto-delete after a period of time, at which point they've already harvested your behaviors into their algorithms. Even ditching Chrome for other browsers sends a strong signal. Alternatives like Safari, Firefox and Brave now block cross-site trackers by default.

After subscribing to your trusted news publications, you'll want to install a trustworthy adblocker on both your desktop and mobile devices but be wary of the most popular options, which let trackers in by default. This is because Google and other adtech companies pay companies like Adblock Plus and AdBlock to be on a "whitelist" of ads that don't get blocked because they are deemed to be "acceptable." (I use the Disconnect.me Privacy Pro VPN on my iPhone, Ghostery for Firefox, Brave, Better Blocker in Safari and uBlock Origin in Chrome.) Probably the most expensive privacy defensive act would be ditching Android for iPhone to more fully de-Googlize your life. In either case, dig into your phone's privacy settings and "Limit Ad Tracking" while resetting your device identifier. This will offer some opt-out protection for ads and trackers embedded within apps, often the most pernicious, covertly pumping your data back to the motherships in Palo Alto and Mountain View and who knows where else.

You've made it this far, mastered the controls, exercised your preferences and secured the perimeter. The creepy ads should be gone. But there's still untold volumes of your data being bought and sold on the open market with an unspecified half-life. Companies you've never heard of have been collecting and broadcasting your personal data and pseudonyms in the real-time auctions that fire off in milliseconds and put a hidden price tag on your attention based on your own intimate traits and tendencies. And, ultimately, we can put in all this work to reduce, or even obfuscate our dark data dossiers, but we can never really know how much is already out there or for how long it'll remain. Opting out is arguably a symbolic, political act when you realize the futility of the efforts.

Perhaps the most effective means of resisting the dark data industrial complex is to do some democracy. California's landmark Consumer Privacy Act becomes enforceable in January 2020 and moves the needle in the US toward the EU in terms of data rights and protections while also starting to shift the burden of consent off of people to the shadow industry of extractors, refiners and arbitrageurs. Californians should learn about their new data rights and flex them. Research from the ad industry suggests that only a small minority of users will allow their data to be used to micro-target us for ads next year, upending the industry's well-worn claim that people prefer ad relevance over privacy. California also has the chance to further strengthen their law in an upcoming ballot initiative, addressing the critical role of political advertising and targeting, cutting into the heart of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

California also joined Vermont in passing a law that mandates a state registry of data brokers, and for the first time, consumers can glimpse at a legally mandated list of previously unknown entities that have been profiting on our secrets for years, hidden in the shadows. New York is another economic powerhouse state debating a data rights act that goes farther than California's. These important actions in statehouses raise the bar for Congress, who will have to grant states serious concessions from the industry lobby that desperately wants these new state laws to be preempted by a national standard, as weak as they can get it, with as many loopholes as they can engineer. In that way, the most significant thing you can do as a US voter might be not tediously finagling fine-print settings but instead contacting your state representatives and asking them to stand up to the personal data industrial complex and co-sponsor a data rights bill to outdo California's. Demand your right to know how your data could be affecting your life.

Escaping the Algorithm: David Carroll Talks Data Privacy - Papermag

Heres a piece of advice for aspiring restaurateurs out there: If you are going to open a restaurant, particularly one that serves a cuisine from a culture that is unfamiliar to you, youd damned well better do your research. Otherwise, you might end up like Arielle Haspel, a white nutritionist who decided to open up Lucky Lees, a clean Chinese restaurant in Manhattan last spring. Lucky Lees is now closed, after just eight months.

Lucky Lees was the center of controversy even before it opened. As Chinese chefs and food writers point out, the word clean implies that other Chinese food is dirty, a stereotype that Chinese restaurants have been fighting for decades. Haspel didnt help her cause by posting messages on Instagram like, We heard youre obsessed with lo mein but rarely eat it. You said it makes you feel bloated and icky the next day? Well, wait until you slurp up our HIGH lo mein. Not too oily. Or salty. Then it was revealed that the restaurant was named after Haspels husband Lee, who is also white, leading to charges of cultural appropriation. The backlash was such that Yelp had to disable Lucky Lees listing.

The New York Times published a lengthy article about the controversy including an interview with Haspel, who explained that clean was a reference to the clean eating movement, which involves consumption of organic foods and olive oil and the avoidance of MSG, and apologized for misrepresenting Chinese food. We were never trying to do something against the Chinese community, she said. We thought we were complementing an incredibly important cuisine, in a way that would cater to people that had certain dietary requirements. The Times also quoted Haspels critics at length, who pointed out that many Chinese restaurants already used organic ingredients and that they didnt feel bloated when they ate Chinese food. A story about the closing by NBC News added that bias against MSG is less about scientifically proven health effects and more about racism.

Lucky Lees was one of a group of lucky Chinese restaurants founded by white people, including Andrew Zimmerns Lucky Cricket outside Minneapolis and Gordon Ramsays Lucky Cat in London.

Both of those, however, remain open.

Thanksgiving is a perfect time to gather with family and friends to reflect on the past year and give thanks. Along with watching football, attending the Thanksgiving Parade, and sharing a delicious meal, many of us also express gratitude for our loved ones on this special day.

In celebrating everything were thankful for, its also important to honor the Earth. Our beautiful planet provides the food in our Thanksgiving feast and sustains us all in multiple ways. As youre planning holiday festivities this year, be sure to follow these simple tips for hosting a sustainable Thanksgiving.

Display Natural Holiday Dcor

During the fall, the trees burst with a rich display of gold, amber, and deep red leaves. You can bring some of that beauty indoors, by dressing up your Thanksgiving gathering with natural dcor.

Instead of using plastic, paper, or synthetic decorations, spruce up your space with corn husks, colorful leaves, pumpkins, and gourds. Any or all of these items could make a gorgeous centerpiece on the table, create a cozy kitchen scene, or dress up your entryway.

Serve Dinner on Your Favorite Dishes

Theres no better time to use your favorite dishes and serving pieces than for Thanksgiving dinner. Using family heirlooms or your own china and stoneware makes the holiday a little more special. Its also a sustainable alternative to serving food on disposable paper and plastic plates, bowls, and utensils. Taking this small step helps reduce landfill waste that can end up in the ocean and harm marine life.

Make Sustainable Menu Choices

Buying your Thanksgiving menu items from a local farm helps support rural communities and local agriculture. Plus, organic food is grown with less harmful pesticides, so its better for the planet.

If possible, visit your local farmers market to make organic menu selections. Popular Thanksgiving foods you can find at the market include corn, squash, potatoes, pumpkins and apples for pie, and more.

If a farm is too far away or you plan to shop at the grocery store, be sure to look for organic labels and purchase accordingly.

Help Reduce Food Waste

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about 1.3 billion tons of food for human consumption gets wasted each year.

To help combat this terrible loss, there are lots of ways to reduce waste at your Thanksgiving meal. For instance, as you make a shopping list, dont over-buy items that can quickly spoil, like produce. Instead, follow recipes closely and buy just enough food and ingredients for the number of people you are hosting.

Furthermore, serve small amounts instead of large portions to your guests. Adopting a less is more rule helps ensure plates arent piled with uneaten food. After all, people can always go back for a second helping!

Properly Store, Eat and Share Leftovers

Most people look forward to a turkey sandwich or another delicious meal the day after Thanksgiving. Properly storing and eating as many leftovers as you can also help reduce waste.

When storing leftovers, plastic baggies, plastic wrap, and aluminum foil only add to overcrowded landfills. Therefore, packing food in washable, reusable storage containers is always the eco-friendliest option.

Furthermore, Food Network offers great food safety tips for storing, freezing and using leftover food. In general, you should pack up and refrigerate uneaten food within two hours after a meal and leftovers will stay good in the fridge for up to four days. Anything left past these timeframes should be tossed.

Also, look online or check out cookbooks to find recipes that will help you enjoy Thanksgiving food in tasty new ways after the holiday. You can also share leftovers by giving extra portions to family and friends to take home.

Compost Food Scraps

Finally, be sure to compost any food scraps you have during meal prep or after your dinner. Composting not only helps enrich the soil, but it also limits greenhouse gas emissions, helps curb plant disease, limits fertilizer use, and reduces waste. Use this guide from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for helpful tips about composting food scraps at home.

#1Thing: How to Host a Sustainable Thanksgiving - WCBS 880

Published 9:03pm CST, Tuesday, November 26, 2019

Brent Heironimus and his father, Steve Heironimus, made their way through the covered growing houses on Donnas Farm in Fannett on Tuesday as they continued to harvest the multitude of organic produce grown within for todays pre-Thanksgiving market sale.

The pair pulled radishes, several varieties of turnips, spinach and more. This morning, the harvest will continue with beans, cabbage, broccoli, herbs all of which will be washed and bundled in time for the 3 p.m. opening of the stand at the farm.

The familys first pre-Thanksgiving market plans were almost dashed when their farm was filled with more than a foot of water during Tropical Depression Imeldas flooding two months ago. They lost all their cucumbers, green beans and tomatoes, but somehow, miraculously, Steve said, the broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage all survived.

Steve recalls walking through the grounds, surveying the flooding that stretched around them as far as the eye could see and the damage it had caused.

The ducks loved it, he said. They were just floating around, dropping their eggs as they swam.

He said he collected the fresh eggs from beneath the clear water.

As the flooding receded, they began replanting the crops that were lost, and leafy pole beans and cucumbers quickly grew again, yielding a harvest just in time to see their holiday plans come to fruition.

Donnas Farm, which survived a near tragedy in Imelda, was born 8 years ago in the midst of an incident also nearly tragic.

Donna fell ill with food poisoning while on a trip to California with Steve. Her condition worsened dramatically as the illness sparked a flare-up of a dormant staph infection from a previous health problem.

The infection sprang up in the artificial heart valve shed gotten years before and almost turned septic. The couple was stuck for three months in California, where she remained hospitalized.

When they returned to their home in rural Fannett, Steves unattended construction business had suffered, and Donna still required constant home care while continuing to recover. Steve, whose father had always kept a garden while growing up in Central Texas, decided to start a garden of his own as something to do while caring for his wife.

He was joined later by son Brent, who had graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in New York. Together they learned about organic farming from the internet, YouTube tutorials and advice from other produce farmers, tailoring their knowledge to the climate of Southeast Texas, and eventually establishing a stable growing cycle.

They built covered houses within which to grow their produce, which gave much-needed protection from the damaging effects of wind, rain and insects.

They now have three, with another in the building process and designs for more to follow. In all, they plan to have eight houses amounting to an acre-and-a-half of covered growing space.

Fruit orchards and a farm-to-table restaurant are also part of the familys long-term plans for the 8-acre property as they continue to grow and find success as organic farmers.

Their produce already can be found in several area restaurants, including Monicas, J. Wilsons and Gathering: A Paleo Cafe in Mid-county.

Brent said they have also reached out to other area farmers, some of whom will contribute items to todays market sale.

They would like Donnas Farm to become a buy local, farm-to-table that offers year-round market sales from area farmers to augment the existing seasonal farmers market in Beaumont.

Those who would like to augment their traditional turkey and dressing with locally grown organic produce and herbs can visit the farm at 11073 Koelemay Drive in Fannett from 3 - 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27.

Donnas Farm brings organic produce to Thanksgiving tables - Beaumont Enterprise

Researchers have described the first outbreak of Salmonella in Sweden that had small tomatoes as the likely source of infection.

Eighty-two cases of monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium have been confirmed, with symptom onsets between Aug. 28 and Oct. 29. They were 51 years of age on average, with a range of a few months to 89 years old. The majority were female. Patients lived in 12 of 21 counties in Sweden, with most in the south-western part of the country. Two more people fell ill on Nov. 13 and an investigation into their exposures is ongoing.

A case control study suggested small tomatoes as the outbreak source and a traceback investigation led to a producer in Europe. Results from the investigations are pending.

Salmonella outbreaks traced to tomatoes are rare in Europe, with the only other one being an outbreak of Salmonella Strathcona caused by datterino tomatoes in Denmark in 2011. This is despite tomatoes being a known source of Salmonella outbreaks in the United States.

Link to organic tomatoes The results from this investigation highlight the importance of considering vegetables as a possible vector of pathogens traditionally thought to be associated with animal products. Despite not being able to sample the implicated batches of tomatoes for analysis of Salmonella, the epidemiological link to small tomatoes was strong, said researchers in the journal Eurosurveillance.

Our subset analysis suggested that small organic tomatoes specifically might be the main source, but organic tomatoes only explained 60 percent of cases. This discrepancy could be explained by recall bias or by contamination of small non-organic tomatoes at the producer.

In September, public health authorities in Jnkping told the Public Health Agency of Sweden (Folkhlsomyndigheten) of five domestic cases of Salmonella with no obvious epidemiological connection in the previous two days. All illnesses had been caused by an unusual Salmonella strain phenotypically shown to be hydrogen sulfide negative on traditional growth agar medium, i.e. the characteristic black pigmentation of the colonies was lacking.

The next day, officials in Vstra Gtaland reported a sixfold increase in domestic Salmonella group B cases compared with the same period in the past four years. One day later, a small cluster of seven monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium ST3478 cases was found among isolates from across the country.

They were identified as part of the routine microbial surveillance program where all isolates of Salmonella from domestic infection are sent to the Public Health Agency of Sweden for typing using whole genome sequencing (WGS). By Sept. 17, the cluster had grown to 27 isolates and an outbreak was declared at national level, with an investigation started to identify the source of infection.

Infections may have gone unnoticed ST3478 is rare in Europe but only Sweden was affected in this large outbreak. Based on responses from nine countries, the specific sequence type had only been seen in the past in a few sporadic cases.

One possibility could be that just a few batches were contaminated and all of them were sent to Sweden. Another possibility is that because the strain lacked the black pigmentation on traditional growth agar medium, it could have been missed in other countries. Countries should be aware that this ST in combination with its unusual phenotypic feature (hydrogen sulfide negative) could go unnoticed on traditional growth agar medium because of the lack of black pigmentation, said researchers.

A total of 40 cases responded to the trawling questionnaire and 38 had eaten tomatoes within the incubation period, and at least seven reported the same type and brand. Although incubation time can be six to 72 hours for Salmonella, it can range from 12 to 192 hours in Salmonella Typhimurium outbreaks.

Response rates to the case-control study questionnaires were 45 of 71 among cases and 328 of 384 among controls. Small tomatoes, grilled chicken and shopping at a certain store belonging to a nationwide food retailer owning different chains, were associated with being a case.

Grilled chicken was not considered to be a true risk factor for being a case in our outbreak as the exposure among cases was low. In addition, the chicken is grilled directly in the supermarket and it would be unlikely that supermarkets from across the country undercooked and improperly stored their grilled chicken over the same time period, said researchers.

All small organic tomatoes sold at the retail stores were delivered by one wholesaler in Sweden and sold under a private label. Deliveries at the end of August and beginning of September showed product was produced and packed by one company in an EU country.

Tomatoes bought by patients within a few days before symptom onset likely came from either or both of two deliveries arriving in Sweden on Aug. 24 and 27. No leftover small tomatoes available from patients households were from these deliveries. Two samples from other deliveries were negative for Salmonella spp. There was no recall because tomatoes from the implicated deliveries were no longer on the market.
