Don't you find it odd that people will put more work into choosing their mechanic or house contractor than they will into choosing the person who grows their food?

The shorter the chain between raw food and fork, the fresher it is and the more transparent the system is.

We should be rolling in the dirt, gardening, wrestling with some brambles and skinning animals for supper. These are important immune system builders.

You know, in our culture today, our Western, reductionist, Roman, linear, fragmented... culture, we don't ask how to make a pig happy. We ask how to grow it faster, fatter, bigger, cheaper, and that's not a noble goal.

That many if not most people...who want fresh leafy greens in January buy them at the supermarket after they've been bleached and plastic-bag shipped from California or beyond is not a tribute to modern technology; it's an unprecedented abdication of personal responsibility and a ubiquitous benchmark of abnormality.

The average person is still under the aberrant delusion that food should be somebody else's responsibility until I'm ready to eat it.

Always listen to your customers.
