The Problems with TOO MUCH

The trick to feeding the world into the future will not be to PRODUCE more food, but to actually produce the same (it could even be less) and DISTRIBUTE the food further and to more people!  There was a good talk on Ideas on CBC Radio, titled Feeding 10 Billion, by Raj Patel.  Here it is:

CBC Ideas in the Afternoon: Feeding 10 Billion-Raj Patel

A revision on the history of the Green Revolution, which was actually an unRed Revolution, meant to combat Communism around the world, with American (gov't and corporate) backed coupes in countries at risk of going Red.  Like many of the Banana Republics put in place to increase American influence for corporate and national interests.  Interesting what you find out when you dig into history and behind the big headlines to find the real stories and facts on the ground, rather than just a single viewpoint, our viewpoint!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

It is now 2013, the hustle and bustle of the holidays are over, and we're all trying to knock off the rust and get back to work.

Both Ashley and I are hard at work trying to update our information and plan for the 2013 growing season.  I am in the midst of updating the blog, and getting the 2013 CSA brochure, as well as signup forms so we can get them published and sent out to all our awaiting customers.  Over the next couple of days I will be redoing the blog pages, and adding some photos and posts, reviewing the 2012 growing season.

We would just like to thank everyone for supporting us in 2012 and look forward to seeing and hearing from you in 2013!

We hope everyone is looking forward to the spring as much as we are, and can't wait to get back to the farmers markets and getting our hands dirty in the fresh soil!  This year we will be farming with our friends at Interlake Meadow Farm, near Gimli, about 20 minutes away from where we were in 2012.  They farm grass finished Belted Galloway Cattle, and a few types of Upick fruit, we look forward to working with them and having access to their produce for our customers, we will detail our partnership in future post!

Thanks again, and see you soon!
