Thanks for taking the time to Blog and...Dear Jay, <br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to Blog and for sharing. This is certainly a great venue for people to learn more about life... about passion, compassion, respect ... having an understanding how our world evolves and how our world is changing. It's important for all of us to take a moment to take a breath, smell the roses and think about things. I personally think, that is one of the biggest problems with people. There is no time to think...to ponder, to learn... which then allows for insight and growth. Most of us are just on autopilot. I am proud of you, I admire your strength, staying true to who you are and knowing in your heart, what makes you happy, what you need to live, to survive. Thank you! <br /><br />I agree with you wholeheartedly, that our Farmers seem to have been forgotten. Besides the reasons I noted above about how the world is hurried with absent of thought and robotic...it is all because of big business and greed...that we have forgotten the origin of everything, including LIFE. Children see their parents going to the bank and putting a plastic card in the building and out comes money!! They have absolutely no idea, how it got there and how hard it was to get there. That is the analogy of how I feel people think about our resources of all kinds. They don't think... they don't have time to think. They don't realize that it took someone, like yourself, to invest their heart and soul, being the origin of what makes the world evolve. They go into a grocery store, into any textile store, seeking brands, that they are brainwashed with by TV/internet/hardcopy Ads. They go to buy any commodity, never having the connection to what it took to be available to them...and it's purpose! They just know to buy, compulsively. <br /><br />In the food industry, I feel with the awareness about Organic gardening, and the value of LIFE, by consuming NON-GMO's, that we are being brought back to understanding the origin...the roots...the Farmer! With our stores now offering choices, NON-GMO's and Conventional, it will force people to have more insight and awareness of choices to chose wisely. They will come to understand the need to support our local Farmer, who most of the time is a family owned/operated, a hard working, sacrificing business. Resulting in people learning to have passion, compassion, more respect. I hope people will trend seeking to purchase quality products for consumption ...knowing the importance to be better to themselves...which will then provide a more quality LIFE. With these awarenesses, I feel will bring on a more conscious effort in what we choose to purchase... which will allow people to think of how and who got it there... thereby increasing support our Farmer and small business. <br /><br />I think it is wonderful that you offer visitors to your farm to learn all about what you do. Thank you again for Blogging and for your sharing on Facebook. Being sustainable is a good thing... <br /><br />Thank you for letting me share my humble two cents. <br />~*~Continue the Dance~*~ I'm right there with ya!<br />God Bless,<br />Christine Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544247605147286634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172653812369050605.post-3105570324256767842017-03-31T08:04:33.488-07:002017-03-31T08:04:33.488-07:00So glad to see someone following his/her true drea...So glad to see someone following his/her true dream!
