It's been a long time since I have been here. I work on the road, in agriculture now, and have no time to be on the net.
It hurts me, I sooo much love this forum.
There are many people here to whom I promised to send seeds, I did not, I could not, financially.
Financial problems. Divorces are not easy to deal with. The remnants of it even harder.
But you are still in my heart, believe it.
Sorry for not sending stuff... which makes me a liar to those to whom I promised. But I could not. I always thought next week it would be better, being used to make money, but switching from finance to organic agriculture as a job had some impact I did not really know how to deal with. I cannot dream of making a 5000$ week anymore, and it used to be common.
But as much as I am rebuilding my life outside of the net, it is becoming more relevant to me to share stuff.
I do not have time now, I hope I'll have some later,I really NEED being back here.
I miss this forum soooo much...I am asking to all my old friends here to pray for me...in the cards is the biggest organic research farm on the continent, I think, with 2000 acres. Apparently the deal is being signed in a few days.I sure hope, I would be in charge.
It is part of a project that involves a lot of international investors, an organic meat processing plant and a higher end restaurant serving mostly organic meat and veggies, 400 seats, the deal is I have to work on making any possible thing organic for the restaurant, we do not want to call it an organic restaurant because we do not know about pepper, spices and so on, but everything that can be bought organic will. Non organic will be bought when there is no choice.
And before I accepted to be part of the project, I made sure veggies ''less sexy'' would not be ''under'' classified, bought for less.
I would have control over that. Looks good
Sorry for having abandonned you folks...There is sometimes life happening.
But at least, I am making what I think are real change in cultural practices around here for many farmers, and if the farm project happens, HOMEGROWN GOODNESS will be a part of it, and I mean it litterally, I intend to make it part of our marketing. It really
means nothing here to the common folk , but it will resonate with our partners around the world....
We have farmers here that now average between 1.7 to 2.5 tons per acre of soy. The average is 1 to 1.1. The difference is all in fermented seaweed and a couple of other organic things that are secret,,,
It will be important for me to relate this project to what we are, because HOMEGROWN GOODNESS FORUM is the inspiration behind it.
I remenber a weekend where, after writing something here ( not remembering what) I had 251 personnal messages. I have not had one for many many months...Well deserved... I need that kick in the ass.
But the crazy thing is as much as I am not here, I am testing stuff in professional settings that is mind blowing...and organic.
I know I will have to share it, especially with those of you who live from the farm.
Again, sorry for letting you go...had not much choice, but I will soon make amends.
