I had been yearning for a post from you and Vera these past couple days, and here you are.
Thank you for such a beautiful offering.
I shared it with some of the farmers in my world whom I’m sure could empathize.
As I was reading, I was thinking of how we have also done this with people. Instead of honouring diverse ways of being (I’m thinking specifically of my experience of First Nations culture, spirituality, language, etc) we have homogenized, marginalized, impoverished and pushed out the very diverse perspectives and ways of being we need to survive and thrive. Just what I was thinking and feeling:) thank you so much for your post 💖💖
Thanks Vera and Sue for this thoughtful piece on the realities of any farmer trying to get out of the feed the world with cheap food trap. It is complicated and we are all complicit in the systems that have pushed agriculture in this direction. I will have to get that book.
This is an excellent post....it resonates with me big time. Putting farming and nature back together is music to my ears.
In such a thoughtful way, you have described the main ideas/concepts and enticed us to read Rebanks book. Can’t wait to dive into his book.

Beautiful post. I’m not a farmer -- in fact I live in the heart of my city -- but I look forward to reading this book. Thank you!
