Lynn R. Miller, Larry Brewer and Sue Tank, the Nordell's, -- these
are some of the Earth's most progressive thinkers and farmers
who not only help write, edit and publish a remarkable quarterly,
they also generously share their wisdom and knowledge to all who
seek it.
Now
that a few financial entities have extended inquires about how
to help the SFJ's collective knowledge reach everyone on our planet
who needs it, we feel privileged that our experience in media
as well as organizing and running non-profits may aid in realizing
a vision where farming is maintained as the art & craft that
it is.
We
seek to aid communication between farmers, not study them. As
a former US President and horseman said in 1891
"...the man who really counts in the world
is the doer, not the mere critic-the man who actually does the
work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only
talks or writes about how it ought to be done." Theodore
Roosevelt
Along with her media skills, Jane is good on the lines driving
horses. Her work experience includes a stretch driving a horse
drawn carriage in downtown "Old" Pasadena. The American
Cream draft horse was named "Buster." Bob once rode
in her carriage from where it was stabled in Arroyo Grande while
Jane drove, through some of the oldest neighborhoods of Pasadena.
Bob had one of Bill Webster's dulcimers set out on the seat facing
him and he happily hammered out tunes from WWI times as they clip-clopped
past houses. Residents of the big, old homes came running out
with their children to show them what we were doing. We were both
busy and didn't record it. That's OK, neither of us will ever
forget that day.
