Farmer's Market. In doing so, we met many great people, made new friends, and began developing a cadre of loyal customers, all of which was most rewarding.

Goals to grow the business for 2014 are:

  1. Add an on-line shopping cart, so customers can order in advance of delivery and complete payment on-line.
  2. Begin delivering to neighborhoods to fulfil orders placed on-line.
  3. Reduce presence at Farmer's Market from weekly to bi-weekly.
  4. Add to our product-offering: pastured eggs, pastured poultry, and grassfed chili.
  5. Begin shipping lamb via overnight delivery to broaden the market for this excellent product.
  6. Focus on Improving Customer's Lives! We will do this by listening to your specific needs and delivering consistently excellent grassfed foods. It is clear that if we can improve your lives, you will improve ours. We want to deepen our relationship with you to enhance your well-being. We invite your advice and support to do so.

Sacred Place

Sacred Place

It is a privilege to know a sacred place, as I feel I do. In some ways, it seems sacred places are supposed to be scarce and remote, like Stonehenge, Chartres Cathedral, the Taj Mahal, or abandoned Pueblo dwellings. Large landscapes, like the desert, ocean, or mountain ranges feel imbued with the divine. Alaska, the Amazon, and the Serengeti invite a sense of awe. One travels to such places, in pilgrimage. And sometimes such places reorganize the pilgrim's sense of order, inviting disorder or change, that can be both painful and uplifting.

Big Muddy

Here is the Lower Mississippi River, 45 feet below normal pool. Over Thanksgiving, Susan and I shoehorned ourselves onto a cruise ship to learn about the lower Mississippi and its bayou. We started in Memphis and ended up in New Orleans, with stops along the way to explore river towns. This river is the third longest on the planet, providing drainage to 40% of North America. It has historically deposited silt yearly in its floodplains, producing topsoil 120 feet deep, making these soils some of the richest in the world. Vast wetland forests grew beside its banks, of cypress, oaks, and sycamores, populated by a rich array of black bears, deer, bobcats, alligators, and aquatic life. This was the legendary bayou.

Streams & Souls

Streams & Souls

Streams and souls seem to share character. They are life-giving, they are coveted, they can be impeded, they can be channelized, they can be overwhelmed, they flood, they dry up, they flow downhill, they are a force of both change and constancy, they lie at the center of a community, they will not be denied, and because of this great complexity, they attract periodic resistance. So, it seems that streams may serve as a metaphor for the journey of the soul.
