I love reading about your t...Hi Maura and Spencer! I love reading about your trip to England! My favorite part so far is the difference in scale between your farm and the others in your group. Bigger is not always better, but in the US we are taught (in business schools, through societal pressure) that if you don't aspire to grow your business (more products, more employees, bigger infrastructure, etc) you are not a legitimate business. You guys are proving that is not right! I guarantee you that the other folks on your tour are no happier than you, are probably under a lot more stress because of loans to support their operations, labor hassles, and it is likely that they are not making that much more money than you guys are. So, they do feed a lot more people and we need that too, but I admire what you guys have been able to do very successfully on a human scale. Keep up the great work!<br /><br />Robin McDermottRobin McDermotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253489111086991711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37206410.post-21818404653833451942009-10-28T07:46:40.965-04:002009-10-28T07:46:40.965-04:00Thanks for the great posts and pics on your trip!

American people are stuck with the TV it hinders them to explore their world... and that the food you can get is fast food (the farmers market here) on the go. Pretty sad.

I'm interested in the nuts and bolts of how they make that work. <br /><br />Have fun,<br />Dave Chirico<br />West Liberty FarmDave Chiricohttp://westlibertyfarm.comnoreply@blogger.com
