I Have ancient degrees in ethnology and cultural anthropology and have been with Michael since 1970. We met on our way to a human rights rally while in college. We were hippies and activists and moved to a deeply rural farm in what would later be called the Back to Earth Movement. We have lived a quiet philosophy of staying in step with nature, never taking more than our share, attempting to tread lightly on the earth.
I have written a newspaper gardening article which is published in two rural newspapers for the past ten years. Since my readers are not acquainted with the Latin names of plants, I use only common names in deference to them. Gardening has been a passion all of my life.

Re: The Youthful Face of Farming

My young farmer was raised on organic produce grown by his (ahem) Mother. Between the gardens, the Jersey cow he milked, and the chickens we raised, he was used to 'real' food. He has grown his own garden since he left home... as have his brothers.
