Looking For A Better Way?

"Sustainable farms are to today's headlong rush toward global destruction what the monasteries were to the Dark Ages: places to preserve human skills and crafts until some semblance of common sense and common purpose returns to the public mind."
Gene Logsdon - Living at Nature's Pace
Farmers have a right to be angry. Forces and politicians much more powerful than they are have been manipulating the way they live for generations.
Consumers have a right to be bewildered. Many grew up never knowing any other way to acquire their food except going to the grocery store. Many children think food is "made" at the supermarket.
So, when consumers finally realize that the corporate, large-agricultural food model is delivering inferior food that is lacking in nutrient value, they begin the search for real food. That leads them to local farmers.
These are the same guys who are still being screwed over by the companies like Monsanto and ADM. So, like you, they have a new learning curve.
You have to learn how to buy food.
They have to learn how to provide it.
There's the rub. They can't provide the food quality that you want with the same level of convenience the grocery store provides. You have to invest more time, thinking, preparation and cooking experience into feeding your family.
What the farmer wants to know is "Can you be shown a better way?"
