This is a statement and not a question since it is obvious that the pesticides are also in the wine. The agricultural businesses have lost my respect after becoming knowledgeable and involved with LBAM. Buy locally grown organic produce and ask lots of questions at the grocery store, if possible.

The whole eastern side of the county is especially dangerous and in the iron grip of the alcohol growers. I am so, so sorry this can't be your haven. The natural beauty is unique and precious, but the vineyards are a toxic wasteland. Thanks for your kind wishes! Mim Hi Donna -
