On the beauty of farms

July 10, 2018

Industrial farms are nasty, ugly, dirty and horrific. But great organic farms are beautiful, clean, dirty and teaming with life. 

Near our friend Miguel's house here in Switzerland (near Zurich), there's an organic permaculture farm with an honor system store. It's basically a room full of whatever's ripe and in season, plus some eggs, vinegar, apple juice and even homemade schnapps. 

It's a 5-minute walk from Miguel's house, so he can "shop" for ingredients right before making dinner. 

Organic farms are not only beautiful, they make life beautiful. 

Life is good up in here.
