The world's first non-crypto, non-currency supporting organic farmers and local food.
A Call to Farms
Some Thoughts on Food, Money and Nonviolence in Honor of Wendell Berry
by Woody Tasch
The food movement is, at its roots, about addressing the wounds of industrialization and globalization. Can enough of us steer, with requisite intention, in the direction of health and peace? Impelled by the war in Ukraine, this short volume explores the deep connections between food, nonviolence and new economic thinking. It has been called “a treasure of insight and inspiration” and “a recipe for cultural healing.”
Moving reflections for this complex age.

The social and environmental crises of our times call for radically new economic vision. Who knew that poetry could seed it? Now we know.
