What have people had to say?
Brad Stufflebeam, "A
pioneer of the local food movement in the Lone Star State" -
Texas Agriculture Magazine
"Your presentation to our Master
Gardening group today was so exciting! Thank you again for an
extremely informative and wonderful presentation. I can assure you
that our entire group shares your passions!"
"I'm one of the many folks who
enjoyed and appreciated learning about your endeavor. Your presentation
was excellent and so very informative... Thank you for coming and
presenting such a great idea and with such excitement. So seldom does one
come upon someone who actually enjoys what he or she does each day."
"I just wanted
to thank you for your presentation today at the Farm to Market workshop.
Awesome is an overused word these days, but that's what it was."
"Thank you for
giving such a stirring talk on Thursday and facilitating the lively
discussion towards the end. I spoke to many people who recognized you
as one of the pioneers recovering our connection to the farm. I was
raised in the suburbs myself and over the last year have come to see myself
working to localize our food system, your example is one that will
repeatedly help guide my own path. As for the future of agriculture, I
see your enthusiasm and passion when delineating the difference in values
and vision between "business-as-usual"/GMO/free trade track and the
local/community supported/permaculture track."
