KALO MINA!

Overwhelming enthusiasm for our Acorn Initiative, substantial media coverage and the incredible honor of speaking at TEDxThessaloniki are only a few of the reasons I keep plugging away and plotting strategies for ACORN DOMINATION!

Asking for support during these dark days in Greece is not easy and I am hoping those of you who have backed the project can help us let as many people as possible know about our efforts to create new sustainable income from acorns and acorn caps for farmers on Kea.

And for those of you who have not yet backed our project but are curious enough to read this far - please go press that green button now! We need your help to continue the work we are doing for Kea. We need to buy machinery in order to process acorns and acorn caps on a larger scale so our community can fully utilize free and abundant acorns. 

Thank you and best wishes,

Marcie
