Fires are Burning - Farm & Garden Health

Reflecting upon your personal journey is so important. In the moment we don't always know if we are making the right decision.

Twenty years ago I walked away from a life of booze and smoke.

Eighteen years ago personal health problems led me to local food and farms.

I learned how badly damaged our modern food and farm systems are. One that has chosen monoculture over biodiversity. One that has adopted chemical fertilizers and pesticides over good soil management.

Government subsidies for "field crops" like soy, corn, and wheat have burdened our bodies, our land, and our economies.

Sixteen years ago I walked away from corporate America to pursue local farm work.

Local systems use sustainable, ethical practices. They value good stewardship and honor natural ecosystems.

Fourteen years ago i opened a farm business to nurture my soul and serve my higher power.

Sometimes we make drastic changes that don't always lead to a clear place. Doors open and you just keep walking.

Nine years ago we started a family. Damn. I thought farming was hard. So much pressure to feed them well, entertain them, keep em safe. So much discipline and consistency.

Five years ago I started mentoring, designing, and installing raised bed gardens for Louisville locals. How could I serve my community if not being "the farmer" anymore. THIS. This was it.

Every breath I've taken along the way has been fueled by broken agricultural models, government and big business' disregard for public health, and the toxicity of the processed "food" industry.

Every wrong doing on a large scale or small, intensifies my desire to contribute to society. And the fires keep coming.
