We offer gifts that celebrate the farmer-heroes who bless our tables with abundance. They grow our food. They practice caring animal husbandry. They steward the land. They restore the soil. They revitalize and restore the soul and spirit of America.
When farms and farm families are inseparable, farming becomes an intensely personal matter. Such farmers have a personal incentive to live and work in harmony with the nature of their particular farm – its soil, topography, climate... They develop the judgment and discretion needed to cope with the vagaries of nature, thus becoming independent entrepreneurs. Such farmers also have personal incentives to work hard and be honest in their dealing with other. They have strong sense of personal and spiritual connectedness with the land. They feel responsible for passing the farm on to the next generation as healthy and productive as when it was passed to them. They have the same commitment to permanence as those early pioneers of organic farming and those who started the natural foods movement. Such farmers have the human capacity for ecological and social integrity that corporate agribusinesses lack. They are real people that locavores can get to know personally and learn to trust.John Ikerd in Why Sustainable Family Farms Are Critical to the Future of the World
