The simple hearth of the small farm is the true center of our universe.

Before researchers become researches they should become philosophers.

The only sensible approach to disease and insect control, I think, is to grow sturdy crops in a healthy environment.

A farmer does not grow something in the sense that he or she creates it. That human is only a small part of the whole process by which nature expresses its being.

Although natural farming - since it can teach people to cultivate a deep understanding of nature - may lead to spiritual insight, it's not strictly a spiritual practice.

Ignorance, hatred and greed are killing nature.

Of course, I have made mistakes . . . just as every grower does. However, I never really think of them as mistakes!
