It?s a very dynamic partnership. They just made it so easy for us to work with them. It?s hard for a small farmer to work with a big behemoth like us up on the hill.

In December, we were at 18 percent. I know a large portion of that was due to ALBA.

It?s really nice. We actually feel a connection to the farmers.

I feel fully decided that we should all go to Europe together and to work as if an established Partnership for Life consisting of Husband Wife and Children.

We're looking to what level of partnership we can get, and what a partner wants from us in exchange.

There was good chemistry between us and I think we formed a good partnership together, with her being the gutsy, working woman and me being the sort of guy who stays at home mending watches and evolving into another level of man, as it were.
