How dare you treat your soil like dirt!

If every American for one week refused to eat at a fast-food joint, it would bring concentrated animal feeding operations to their knees.

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.

Food security is not in the supermarket. It's not in the government. It's not at the emergency services division. True food security is the historical normalcy of packing it in during the abundant times, building that in-house larder, and resting easy knowing that our little ones are not dependent on next week's farmers' market or the electronic cashiers at the supermarket.

If you have to put on a haz-mat suit to visit a farm, you may not want to eat what comes from it.

One of the greatest assets of a farm is the sheer ecstasy of life.

Remember, machines don't forgive.
