Sometimes the internet is really, really cool. Like when you find an absolutely gorgeous blog post about modern day farmers and consumers, through another friend's blog that is not food related in any way. (Thanks, Tricia!)

I wanted to share it here. It echoes thoughts I have had about our industrtial food system for years, firsthand from the farmer's perspective.

My favorite part, one that really makes you think -

“Why have I thought a good education was about sending our children away? Why do we teach that dirt doesn’t matter and growing food is menial? Why do we think success is measured in the distance we travel away from the land and its crops that our very stomachs crave three times a day?”
