Hi Everyone,
Just when you think it's done, the sun comes out and shines, on and on. I'd recommend a great documentary http://geraldcelentechannel.blogspot.com/2011/05/future-of-food.html but it's just too depressing. I think we all know what Monsanto is about or we wouldn't be doing what we are doing...growing vegetables or joining a CSA. We may be small, but we are mighty. Just ask a weedling. They may not look like much in a field. Oh, just a few. But they grow. In numbers and in strength. And then it's impossible to overcome them. The only time to defeat them is in the beginning. When they are just sprouting. Then it's easy to take the Williams Tool System (yes, there is always a defining system) and cull those little things. Those little white tendrils of roots laying in the sun to dry out. And it's over. But there are always more coming. And there are. For they are we. Always coming.
And so, we are coming. We are choosing. By our actions. By our wallets. By our commitment. Even when it's not so easy. Gosh, it's so easy to just walk in to any grocery store and buy anything...any vegetable...any time. But it's not so easy to join a CSA and just get a bag of vegetables each week and figure out what to do with them all. I am humbled by every check that we receive. But it fills me with hope. We may be a trickle right now -- less than 1% of the food supply -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SmZAJkPEPU but we will grow and they will try to fight us http://www.naturalnews.com/032357_FEMA_food_confiscation.html
but I don't think they'll win. And if they do, then it's done. And the sun comes out and shines, on and on. I'd recommend a great dandelion weed.
