Notes from the Squash Father

--

In Service to Life and Justice

Impressions
at the
Kansas (Chapter 2) Organic Crop Improvement Association Meeting
 (OCIA - March, 2008)

At the OCIA's annual membership meeting I felt the blessing of Thomas Jefferson. I  shared bread and conversation with proud yeoman farmers, Kansas farmers. What a heritage, a farmer whose ancestors first came to the prairie in the 1860's spoke proudly and compassionately about not letting there animals suffer when going to slaughterhouse.  These are the people I want growing my food.

I told them that Kansas City eaters hungered for pure food.

Food produced on local family farms.

Food not poisoned with petrochemicals.

Food not grown with oil purchased with the blood of our sons
and daughters in the sands of far off lands.

Food from animals given a life they deserve for the sacrifice they will make.

Food from farmers who nurture the living soil to coax the fruits
of the Spark of Creations gift, life on Earth.
