They discuss the upcoming farmers market season and the opportunity for people to interact with farmers and learn about agriculture.  They also discussed Devin's history within the industry, along with some of the programs, initiatives, and the publication "The Natural Farmer" which NOFA provides to the community.NOFA's Local Food Initiatives:Devin explains that NOFA (Northeast Organic Farming Association) is a 50-year-old organization with seven state chapters supporting organics, land stewardship, and local food. The New Jersey chapter, which is 40 years old, focuses on supporting community and economic vehicles that make local food work. Devin discusses the challenges and opportunities in the current economic environment, emphasizing the need for collaboration and investment in local economies to build resilient, self-reliant food systems. He also highlights the importance of organic farming for health and the environment, and shares two exciting projects: a commercial kitchen to support value-added product creation for farmers, and a grains project involving a documentary and grain processing equipment installation to strengthen the local grain economy.NOFA-NJ Updates and Initiatives:Devin also discussed NOFA-NJ's upcoming events and website, encouraging people to check for future activities starting in July. Amaris and Devin also talked about NOFA-NJ's outdoor project which is nearly complete and can accommodate around 50 people.

You'll be delighted to know that the NJ farming community is looking out for your best interest, in particular a group of like-minded individuals who formed the Northeast Organic Farmers Association (NOFA) New Jersey chapter. In doing so, they've created an organization which focuses on providing information, fun activities, and yes--produce, from the local farmers, interest groups, educators, and AGRO enthusiasts alike. We've said it numerous times, and I'll say it again: Without farmers, we wouldn't have clothes, food, or beverages. The same goes for all the small (and large) vendors who create goods and services to make those provisions available to all of us, and NOFA is aiming to bring all of them together so everyone can benefit from fresh organic goods, shelf-stable organic products, and so much more! You'll have a blast learning about NOFA , and stay tuned to find out some of the exciting events that NOFA is offering this Fall and Winter!(https://nofanj.org)Next, you'll hear from Casey Carroll who owns Coray Kitchen in Delmar, NY. Casey and her husband, Chef Javier Villatoro, their farm-to-table restaurant offers delicious and creative selections that reflect Chef Vialltoro's heritage and culinary innovations from his own garden! He builds upon his menus each year by saving the seeds from what he harvested & used on his menu, which is something he learned while growing up in his hometown. Casey, who loves the benefit from having Chef Javier as her business partner and husband, shares the love behind what brings patrons to Coray Kitchen time and time again, along with the story behind the name, how they met, and what you'll experience when you join them for a meal.(https://www.coraykitchen.com)I last spoke with Victoria Lambert, who is a bio-lab technician who's taken her love of science and research into the kitchen when she started her business, Happy Bakery. Victoria first opened her bakery with one vision: Offering cinnamon buns that had creative flavors and options. She soon found success, as well as a need to re-imagine the offerings since she quickly sold-out of menu items on a daily basis. So today, you'll find those warm, fragrant buns along with other items to hit your sweet-loving spot, like fudgy brownies and dense cookies. Need I say more to tempt you? You can find where she's vending at by following her online on her instagram handle at @happybakerywc!

I remember being seven or eight years old and drawing… having construction paper, big rolls of paper all over the living room floor, drawing pictures of where my cows and my sheep and my chickens would go on my future farm.—Melissa   You pick and choose your battles for sure…do we want to focus on cleaning up all of our  step-in fence for the sheep and  do all the outdoor stuff or are we going to focus on a house that we can bring friends into? So unfortunately,  our game nights have taken a hit on not being able to invite people over, but our understanding of field management and what is required outside is more of a priority and we're appreciating that. Our decor is not the best, but whatever.--Toby   As Toby writes: Melissa and I own and operate Three Square Farm. We do rotational grazing of our beef and dairy cows and meat sheep. We moved to Vermont 5 years ago and started our farming journey 3 years ago.  Toby also does hay crops on almost 100 acres and is diving into precision ag. Through many challenges, lessons learned (some the hard way), and classes with NOFA, we have gotten our enterprise on a good standing. With many more years to come and the passion for agriculture ever blossoming within our selves we like to look back on the struggles of being newly married, a new location, and many other challenges we faced. This only makes us stronger and the love of this career richer. At this point we couldn't see ourselves doing anything else.

This episode is a culmination of voices and stories of our NOFA community members that visited the in person Winter Conferences.  For those of you who don't already know, most of the NOFA state chapters host an annual Winter Conference.  Some are jam packed single days, others are weekend long intensives, and others have been held in a more virtual online format.  None-the-less the Winter Conference is filled with workshops, presentations, and experiences for Farmers, Gardeners, Foodies, Chefs, and Agricultural and Environmental Policy advocates.  And it's one of the greatest places to connect with other people who are equally, and sometimes even more passionate about the work we're all doing.  Hear the stories and intentions of people like YOU from NY, NJ, CT, VT, MASS, RI, NH, PA and MA!

My guest today on Digging in the Dirt is Monique Bosch. Monique has designed and built over 40 edible school and community gardens and farms throughout New England, including a 2-acre urban farm in Bridgeport CT. She works with CT. NOFA as a Soil Health Technician as well. She has founded and run… for profit and non-profit entities, including Green Village Initiative (GVI) and Wiggle Room LLC. Monique teaches ‘How to Grow Your Own Food' classes and speaks on healthy soil and community gardening, sharing her knowledge of regenerative agriculture practices, and community building. I invited her here today to talk about what we can do now… here in the fall, to better our soil so we can have successful results next spring and summer.

On Monday, August 14, the EcoAction Committee of the Green Party held a webinar on climate and agriculture. This segment focuses on the remarks of Liz Henderson of NOFA (Northeast Organic Farm Association), who discusses the need to build healthy soils and reforms needed in the pending Farm Bill. Agriculture is often overlooked as a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Globally agriculture accounts for almost a third of emissions. Our food system is also under threat from climate change and extreme weather, at both the level of production and distribution. The lack of access to healthy, affordable food for many is already a major domestic and global problem. Only recently has the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) begun to highlight the role of agriculture in the climate crisis, including the recommendation to move to a more plant-based diet. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

In this episode I am joined by Central Massachusetts cattle farmer, Ridge Shinn to discuss the amazing possibilities that good management of cattle can have on soils and land as a whole.

So stay tuned and join The award winning For the People as we plant ourselves on the Weslyan University campus to experience everything CT NOFA.

Well, it's happened again! Wests Tigers are now on our equal worst-ever losing streak. But, were there some little rays of sunshine poking through on a stinking hot day at Belmore? On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel Helmes and Garry Watson take a look at the 26-22 loss to the Bulldogs. Some of the main talking points include: What's going on with Nofa? The controversial call by Tim Sheens to bring David Nofoaluma off the field. Does this signify a bigger issue with the veteran winger? John Bateman. Have we found a new fan favourite with his unorthodox style and in-your-face attitude on the field? Where does he play next week, lock or second-row? The halves. Is the Luke Brooks and Adam Doueihi experiment finally over? And, if so, where does Doueihi play (assuming he's the one that gets moved)? Plus all the other major talking points from a mostly quite dire outing against the Bulldogs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've got exciting news for farmers, gardeners and those who love our land resources - The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Connecticut (NOFA-CT) is with us previewing the 41st Winter Conference coming up in March and culminating with an in-person gathering and celebration at Wesleyan University. Then, we'll tell you about CONNIE - the CT Health Exchange that's required to implement by May. There are more than a few serious concerns about it and a lot that consumers aren't aware of — so we'll call on the President of the CT Psychological Association to help unpack some of the key details you need to know. And we'll close with more good environmental news - a 41-mile section of the Housatonic River just received federal Wild and Scenic designation, which should lead to better protections for the waterway. So we'll chat up a leader from the Housatonic Valley Association - one of the two organizations that helped Connecticut earn this high profile national designation to learn more.

In this episode we're drawing more highlights from our annual NOFA/Mass Winter Conference that happened remotely in January 2022. First we join Natural Farmer, Marco Thomas for an introduction to the Natural Farming technique of collecting of Indigenous Micro Organisms (IMOs).  Then, we join Richard Robinson of Hopestill Farm for a deep dive into mulching, and his impassioned reasons for using leaves as mulch as possible.  Marco Thomas is a natural farmer in Central Virginia, and is the founder of Microbes by Marco producing small batch craft inputs for soils. His work is focused on building soil and cultivating microorganisms to enhance his own garden and urban farm and he is guided by the principles, “Do as nature does.” and “Focus on the natural way.”  Richard Robinson began organic gardening over 40 years ago and became a serious farmer in 2004. He grows certified organic vegetables, small fruits, and Christmas trees at Hopestill Farm in Sherborn, MA. Richard has also a member of the NOFA/Mass Board of Directors since 2017.

Today the Virginia Department of Health reports another 10,699 new cases and the seven day-percent positivity is at 29.5 percent. While the trend this week is downward, these numbers are still higher than at most points during the pandemic. In the Blue Ridge Health District, there are another 350 new cases reported today and the seven-day average for new positive tests is at 25.1 percent. There have been four new fatalities reported since Friday in the district. Augusta Health and the University of Virginia Health System are pleading with members of the public to get a COVID vaccination and a booster to reduce strain on the medical infrastructure. “After two years and four surges, COVID-19 has tragically claimed the lives and health of too many in our communities,” reads a joint press release from both entities. “Our care teams are exhausted, both physically and mentally.”The release points out that the vast majority of hospitalized patients are unvaccinated and urges people to get the booster. It also asks people to continue wearing a mask in public but to upgrade to one that is medical grade as opposed to a cloth mask.Richardson lawsuit updateThe city of Charlottesville has asked for more time to respond to a federal lawsuit from former City Manager Tarron Richardson. Richardson filed a civil rights suit in November in the Western District of Virginia against Council and four individuals claiming he was discriminated against after members of Council broke a non-disparagement clause. He was also barred from publishing an op-ed in the Daily Progress. Charlottesville asked for an extension to respond to the argument, and Judge Norman K. Moon has given them until February 16.  See also: Former City Manager Sues Charlottesville, November 24, 2021Chamber of Commerce welcomes new membersThree new people have been added to the Board of Directors for the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce.Eric Mayberry is the president of the Daily Progress as well as director of sales and local marketing. Jonathan Chasen is a private wealth financial advisor with Wells Fargo Advisors. Rebecca Ivins is a client solutions manager for Hourigan, a construction company that has worked on several projects in Charlottesville including the Dairy Central building, the CODE building, and the Apex building. Charlottesville sales tax bill clears Virginia SenateHere’s a snapshot of where the General Assembly was at the close of business yesterday. The Senate has passed 37 bills, and the House of Delegates of Delegates has passed three, all three of which deal with insurance. So let’s focus today on the 40-member Chamber, where Senator Chap Petersen’s bill to permit hunting on Sunday passed the full Senate on a 29 to 11 vote (SB8). Both Charlottesville and Isle of Wight County are one step closer to being able to hold a referendum for a one percent sales tax increase to support education. SB37 for Isle of Wight County passed on a 27 to 12 vote. SB298 for Charlottesville passed on a 28 to 12 vote. Another bill would allow all localities in Virginia to hold such a referendum also passed on a 28 to 12 vote (SB472). Other bills that have passed the Senate:Legislation to allow employers to offer rewards to people who get the COVID-19 vaccine through their health insurance wellness program has passed on a 19 to 17 vote (SB42)A bill to direct the Department of Health to create a prescription drug awareness program in conjunction with the Board of Pharmacy passed unanimously. (SB14)A locality’s planning commission would have up to 100 days to make a recommendation on a Comprehensive Plan amendment under a bill that passed the Senate on a 26 to 14 vote. (SB35)Candidates for constitutional officers for localities would be required to identify their party registration if the House agrees to (SB39) and Governor Youngkin signs it. The Senate voted 25 to 15.  The Senate unanimously approved a bill to float $101 million in bonds for projects at Virginia Tech and James Madison University (SB93).Juvenile and Domestic Courts could waive the requirement for the ceremonial occasion when a minor gets a driver’s license if SB139 if the House agrees. The Senate passed it unanimously. (SB139)Candidates for public office would have to file campaign finance reports electronically under SB222, which passed the Senate unanimously. Another bill to expand required disclosures for who pays for campaign advertisements also passed the Senate on a 23 to 15 vote (SB318). Finally for the Senate, a bill to allow Arlington County to appoint an independent police auditor passed on a 21 to 19 vote (SB388). Second Patreon-fueled shout out goes to WTJUAlgorithms know how to put songs and artists together based on genre or beats per minute.

Sales said continuing lack of rent payment continues to trouble the federal government.“[The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development] is calling it out at every meeting and asks where we are doing to address it,” Sales said. The CRHA’s fiscal year ends on March 31. Sales said the agency is hiring an eviction prevention coordinator and housing stabilization position soon to work with families.“There is a policy now where the housing authority has to work with the families before moving forward with any eviction proceeding to at least get them to attempt to get the rent relief program,” Sales said. Sales said eviction is a last resort. The average rental payment is $247 a month and the monthly operating expense to run CRHA is currently $265,927. HUD considered CRHA to be a “troubled” agency and there will be an audit on March 16. At the meeting, former Charlottesville Mayor Nikuyah Walker was officially appointed to serve on the CRHA’s redevelopment committee in an at-large capacity.City seeking affordable housing proposals Since 2007, Charlottesville has had an affordable housing fund to help create and preserve affordable housing units. Today they’ve begun the process of soliciting proposals for how to use $750,000 from the current fiscal year’s capital budget. The notice for funding availability (NOFA) refers to the affordable housing plan adopted by Council last March. “This Plan recommends that the City make a strong and recurring financial commitment to address housing needs in Charlottesville in order to increase the number of subsidized affordable homes by 1,100 homes, preserve existing 600 existing subdidized affordable homes, and stabilize 1,800 to 2,000 owner and renter households facing housing instability,” reads the application.The application comes at a time when the firm HR&A continues to work on an audit of how the housing fund has been used. They gave a preliminary report to Council on December 20 that states the city has not tracked how the $38 million in local funds have been used to date. The current capital improvement program budget for this year includes $1.5 million for CHRA redevelopment, $900,000 for the supplemental rental assistance program, and over $3 million for the redevelopment of Friendship Court. The budget actually shows a line item of $925,000 for the housing fund this year. Questions are out but the answers will come in a future edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement. See also: Council briefed on affordable housing funds, December 31, 2021Goldman lawsuit prompting Albemarle to consider expedited redistricting scheduleThe redistricting process in Albemarle County got underway last night with an information session on how it will work out. Guidelines require magisterial districts to be contained with Virginia’s legislative and Congressional lines. Under the new maps approved in late December by the Virginia Supreme Court, Albemarle falls entirely within the new 11th Senate District.“Albemarle County falls into two different Virginia House of Delegates districts, the 54th which is basically the urban ring around the city of Charlottesville and then the 55th which is the majority of the county,” said Anthony Bessette, the Senior Assistant County Attorney.There’s a slight glitch when it comes to the new House of Representatives maps.“Almost all of Albemarle County is in the 5th District but there is a tiny sliver up [north] that is in the 7th District,” Bessette said. There’s even a Twitter account for the sliver. Since 2010, Albemarle’s population grew by 13,385 people according to the Census but the growth isn’t even.“Rio and White Hall grew a great deal whereas on the other hand Scottsville did not grow at the same pace,” Bessette said. That means the Rio District and White Hall districts will need to be reduced in size and others will need to be expanded. In December, Supervisors approved preliminary guidelines that would keep their number at six. “The determination of whether to have six supervisors, five, four, seven, eight, etc, is a local decision that the Board of Supervisors gets to make,” Bessette said. Because of a federal lawsuit that may force an election for the House of Delegates this year, staff is now recommending an accelerated schedule in order to prepare for potential primaries in June. “Long story short on that is that timeline would see the process compressed further to begin on February 2 and end on March 23,” Bessette said. Attorney Paul Goldman has filed suit against the state Board of Elections arguing that the current districts for the House of Delegates are unconstitutional because they are out of date. Goldman filed a brief on January 18 in the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and attorneys for the Board of Elections have until January 28 to file additional materials. Public comment on redistricting will be taken at their February 2 meeting. The maps that have been developed so far were not shown to the public at the information session. Registrar Jake Washburne said three maps are being proposed. “We are planning to send those to the Board of Supervisors so they can be placed on the Board of Supervisors’ agenda for February 2,” Washburne said.  If you want to submit written comments:Richard J.

•  I'm a second generation builder, so I started in diapers, I spent summers... My dad was a developer here in Chico, so I spent summers working on the job. After school? Yeah, so grew up on the job site, then decided to go to college to do something else, was a Recreation major and somehow ended up back in construction. I'm married to also a second generation builder, so we in our spare time, always built together, got into houses, redone them and we were in the process of redoing our house when the Camp Fire struck. So hence, that led me to a lot of time on my skid steer on our property and our neighbor's property, and then reconstructing with my family, which has been quite a dream, it's been great. (01:23)•  Without a doubt, it's one talking to girls who... Anybody really that will listen really about how great construction is, especially girls, because my generation a 20 something year-old, that book wasn't really open to me, that platform. It should have been, and being in a building family, definitely it should have been. But really then, it really wasn't. So right now, I'm just trying to tell any girl that will listen, consider construction as a career choice, really anybody... You don't have to go to college if you want to do construction, but to be able to see what you physically build at the end of the day is such a beautiful thing. And really, my calling right now is launching a mobile training unit that will travel to areas that have been affected by wildfire. (3:33)•   It would be amazing if I had unlimited funds to do anything with, so it's been something that we've been throwing around to the Valley Contractor's Exchange, which for those that don't know, builders exchanges are non-profit member-based construction associations. I have the greatest job when I'm not physically out there building, I get to advocate locally for building and whatever that looks like in various communities throughout the country. So it's been something we've been talking about here for 20 years, how great would that be, and we've been trying to find community partners to do that with community colleges or office of education or just other community partners that could help us make that a reality, and we never really got anywhere on that. And so the silver learnings that come out of these terrible natural disasters like we experienced with the Camp Fire and then the subsequent North Complex Fire, fortunately, unfortunately, provides some funding sources that aren't typically available to us. (06:42)•  Yeah, ideally, if they have two weeks to spend with us, that's an 80-hour per core curriculum, it's an industry recognized all over the United States and is recognized basic construction skills and safety. So they can take that if they want to enter the work force, which... No joke, that's what we're also trying to do here, when we talk about rebuilding after the Camp Fire, rebuilding Paradise, it's painfully slow only because we don't have the physical bodies to the work, so if we can empower people... And the other part of that is construction is a really intimidating industry to get into, especially as a woman, right? Like physically go on a job site and show up, you have to show up and utilize those tools and equipment and know what you're doing. It's hard, it's intimidating. So I feel like if we can go into these communities and teach them those basics and then empower them and have them physically build something, and then they can look at it and say, Wow, I did that. (10:48)•   Do you have a goal date? I do. The goal, the drop dead date. I'm going to say January 1st. I think it'll be... I think the pieces will be together before then... Yeah, so we're securing funding right now, the NOFA hasn't even been released yet, but we're still filling out the application, we've had several conversations with the EGA, this is right on their radar, like this is right in line with what they're trying to achieve, not only through fire rebuilding, because we're coming out of COVID also,  and then we've talked to our local community foundations. We're going to talk to them about funding. BCE does have some money in the bank, so they can have some skin in that game too. And then go out to industry and ask them to put their skin in the game, because we know they need employees... And the other part of what we're going to do here is take this truck and trailer to schools, there's no more construction tech classes in high schools and middle schools. And so right now, on a very small scale, we do construction camps with the Boys and Girls Club, we do construction camps with our local recreation district to grow those programs too. (13:10)•  Yeah, so happy to be alive and to have my family and to realize the only things that we lost were just things... We were home, so we were able to get our pets loaded up, we've been evacuated several times, so you know, I know how to pack... I have my favorite underwear, stupid stuff like that, you lose most of your clothes, but just be able to put on that perfect pair, it's crazy. But we didn't take the other things like the paintings that my grandmother did and my grandfather's war memorabilia, that stuff sucks, but the rest of it is just really things... I have my family and I have a great husband that knows how to build. So that first two months, we didn't know where we were going to live and life is just got really strange and has weird ways of taking care of you.  (19:17) ABOUT AMY:Amy Rohrer, Co-Owner of Rohrer Construction and Executive Director of Valley Contractors Exchange, is a second-generation builder living in Butte Creek Canyon. Amy is passionate about empowering girls and women in construction! She engages youth by teaching construction camps with the Boys and Girls Club, and summer camps where she is sure to offer an equal number of Girls Build! camps.  After their family's home and construction shop was lost in the 2018 Camp Fire, She and her husband got HAZWOPER certified and spent 6 months removing the ash and debris from their property, as well as their neighbor's property, before they got down to the business of rebuilding. In fall of 2021, she is launching a mobile training unit that will travel to burned-out communities and teach fire survivors basic construction safety and skills though hands-on-tools community rebuilding projects.  In her work life, Amy is happiest on her skid steer (named Miss Kitty), pouring concrete, or framing and standing walls. Outside of work, she loves spending time with her husband and 2 teen-age sons, playing golf, soccer, and paddle boarding.  Amy is fond of saying, “I may be 5' 2' and 110 pounds but put me on a piece of equipment and I am just as strong as a 6' tall bodybuilder!” WAYS TO CONNECT WITH STEFANIE…• Website: https://shebuildshomes.com• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shebuildsbetter• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shebuilds.homes• YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/shebuildsshow

It’s bought, it’s sold, it’s debated. But what is organic food? This week on Meat and Three, we travel into the world of organics. In the land we now refer to as the “United States,” indigenous communities have been growing their food “organically” for centuries. But “organic food” in the U.S. is now tied to a slew of technical regulations required for certification. The United States Department of Agriculture defines organic food as food produced without the use of antibiotics, pesticides, growth hormones, synthetic fertilizers, bioengineering, or ionizing radiation. This is why organic food can be more costly than food produced with polluting chemicals.When the organic food movement went mainstream in the United States in the 1970s, it wasn’t just about compiling a list of regulations. Its roots dug deep into efforts to protect human health and the environment. Our stories this week explore the meaning of “organic.” We start off with an organic food 101. Then we report on how corporations in the United States have influenced the movement and we hear from the Gorzynski family about why they penned themselves as ornery instead of organic. In our final segment, we bring you a story on how the ties between white supremacy and organic food challenged a farmer’s market to its core.Further Reading and Listening:Hear more from Wythe Marschall and Melissa Metrick on Fields.

Four and a half miles from the center of Putney, VT, High Meadows farm is located just adjacent to the site where NOFA VT was founded. NOFA’s 40th year celebration was held in the High Meadows Farm barn! Howard is responsible for the sales end of the business, including sourcing new accounts, arranging promotions, and selling in new items. He does all of the seeding, manages the facility, including greenhouse and field production, fertilizing, pest control, repairs and maintenance, greenhouse construction, and trucks. Howard runs the retail business at the farmer’s market as well. Lisa manages the plant inventories, plans the production schedule, is in charge of rooted cuttings and plant material purchases, and instituted lot control. Lisa keeps the business financial records, forecasts, sales, and expenses, and works on strategy with Howard. In addition, Lisa readies plant pots for sale and fills orders and loads trucks.   Resources: Local Line - https://site.localline.ca/, https://site.localline.ca/learn/free-tools Website - http://highmeadowsfarm.com/wordpress2/farm/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vermontorganic/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/highmeadowsfarm/

This Episode the group talks about how much they miss going to the movies and they will pay almost anything to feel something. Let us know what you think and if you feel the same way.

This Independence Day weekend, we're paying tribute to all the folks who grow the good food we eat, who are taking steps to grow their own, or maintain their properties with organic standards in mind.  So we're playing an encore presentation from our annual pilgrimage to the Northeast Organic Farming Association's Organiconn conference - which was held earlier this year at Wesleyan University.  We caught up with NOFA's director, the event's keynote speaker, as well as a number of other guests promoting organic practices and programs that are enhancing our state's environment and public health, while engaging our youngest citizens to participate and enjoy the fruits and veggies they can raise and eat from their own personal, school, or community garden.

My guest today on Digging in the Dirt is Dina Brewster. Dina is the Executive Director of The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Connecticut (CT NOFA), she owns The Hickories a one acre vegetable garden and has overseen the development of new products and new acreage as the family business has grown. Committed to connecting people with working land, Dina chose to return to her family's farm in Ridgefield and start the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program, one that still exists as the backbone of the farm's business plan.

Join Gagne, Felix, Eddie and Kevin as they bring you their take on Pixar's newest film "Onward". The gang is sheltered in place but still diving into as much content as we can. Thankfully we were given this gem on Disney+ a little early!

Today's Special Report was produced from the recent Northeast Organic Farming Association's 2020 OrganiConn conference at Weslyan University in Middletown. We caught up with NOFA's director, the event's keynote speaker, as well as a number of other guests promoting organic practices and programs that can help enhance our state's environment and public health - while engaging 'back to the land' entrepreneurs and our youngest citizens to dig in and enjoy everything they can raise and eat from their own farm, personal, school, or community garden.

My guest this afternoon is Suzanne Duesing. Suzanne lived and worked with her partner Bill Duesing on the Old Solar Farm for three decades. Together they raised animals, fruits and vegetables for their family and community ...Her husband Bill is the founder of the CT chapter of NOFA, the Northeast Organic Farming Association, part of the larger network of chapters throughout New England, New York and New Jersey. He dedicated his entire adult life to the perpetuation of a sustainable,local and organic food system.

Estamos leyendo en el libro de Números, yendo esta semana hacia la última sección del libro. Al leer sobre la vida de los israelitas en el desierto, me llama la atención que en los momentos en que el pueblo ha elegido desobedecer a Dios y seguir su propio camino, incluso ahí, Dios los acampaña. Los de Israel no entraron a tomar la tierra, y tuvieron que ir errando por el desierto durante 40 años, pero Dios no los dejó abandonados. Dios estuvo con ellos durante todo el trayecto. Leemos cómo el pueblo volvía a Dios en ocasiones y Dios les daba victorias, pero en otros momentos los mismos que habían venido a Dios para pedir su protección y habían gustado la victoria se olvidaban para quejarse. Justo después de la victoria ante el rey Arad, nos dice el capitulo 21: 4-5 “Después partieron del monte de Hor, camino del Mar Rojo, para rodear la tierra de Edom; y se desanimó el pueblo por el camino. Y habló el pueblo contra Dios y contra Moisés: ¿Por qué nos hiciste subir de Egipto para que muramos en este desierto? Pues no hay pan ni agua, y nuestra alma tiene fastidio de este pan tan liviano.”Habían tenido una victoria, pero tendrían que viajar hacia el Mar Rojo para rodear Edom porque no les permitían cruzar su territorio (Edom eran los descendientes de Esaú?) Vemos que tuvieron que retroceder, para poder seguir avanzando. Esto los desanimó y murmuraron contra Dios y contra Moisés. Dios aquí protege a Moisés, el cuál ya había recibido la queja de este pueblo en tantas ocasiones. Dios no les da contestación, pero vemos que les viene un verdadero problema, unas serpientes venenosas que mordían a muchos y los mataban con su veneno. Es entonces que el pueblo se da cuenta de su pecado, incluso sin necesidad de que Dios ni nadie les reprenda. Cuando viene la verdadera dificultad se dan cuenta que todas sus quejas eran sin sentido. Vienen a Dios arrepentidos. Nos dice el versículo 7: “Entonces el pueblo vino a Moisés y dijo: Hemos pecado por haber hablado contra Jehová, y contra ti; ruega a Jehová que quite de nosotros estas serpientes. Y Moisés oró por el pueblo.”Dios instruye a Moisés que haga una serpiente de bronce en un asta para que cualquiera que fuere mordido y mirare a ella viviera. Y así fue, “ Moisés hizo una serpiente de bronce, y la puso sobre un asta; y cuando alguna serpiente mordía a alguno, miraba a la serpiente de bronce, y vivía.”Números 21:9 A esta historia haría referencia siglos más tarde el evangelio de Juan para explicar la obra sanadora de Cristo: “Y como Moisés levantó la serpiente en el desierto, así es necesario que el Hijo del Hombre sea levantado.” Juan 3:14.Aunque atacado por el veneno mortal, todo aquel que mirara hacia aquella serpiente de bronce viviría. Del mismo modo, aunque nosotros estemos manchados por el pecado, al mirar a Cristo, en Hijo del Hombre levantado en la cruz, recibimos vida. Cristo es el sacrificio que quita el veneno del pecado. Es Cristo el que Dios ha provisto para darnos perdón y salvación. Tras este incidente, vemos que el pueblo de Dios pudo seguir el camino hacia Obot, Ije-abarim, rodeando Moab, hasta el pozo de Beer donde Dios proveyó agua para el pueblo. Vemos que Dios en todo momento los acompañó. Les dio victoria ante pueblos que les atacaron: los cananeos del Neguev, los amorreos de Hesbón, Didón, Nofa y Medea, Jázer, y los de Basán. Dios estuvo con ellos, dando ánimo ante el peligro y proporcionando la victoria: Diciendo, como en el 21:34: “No tengas miedo, porque en tu mano los he entregado.” Lo que me llama la atención, como he comentado al principio, es que Dios los está cuidando, incluso cuando el pueblo es desobediente y quejica. Soy madre, y maestra, y por eso puedo llegar a entenderlo un poco. Cuando deseas el bien para tus hijos o tus alumnos, aún cuando son desobedientes y quejicas, no los abandonas. Puede que tengas que proporcionarles un castigo que les muestre el mal que están haciendo, y en muchas ocasiones, el mal que se están haciendo a ellos mismos. Pero no por eso les deseas mal tú. Al contrario, aún cuando no han entendido el daño que su comportamiento está causando, los acompañas pacientemente, esperando que en algún momento, como en el incidente de las serpientes, se den cuenta de su error y estén preparados para rectificar. Esto es porque los amas y lo que más deseas para ellos es el bien. Así es nuestro buen Dios. En el libro de Jeremías Dios dirá a su pueblo: “Porque yo sé los pensamientos que tengo acerca de vosotros, dice Jehová, pensamientos de paz, y no de mal, para daros el fin que esperáis.”En su bondad, no puede dejar que el rebelde siga su camino sin pararlo, aunque esto le cause dolor. Sin embargo, en medio del dolor, Dios siempre está ahí, cuidando y pacientemente esperando que nos demos cuenta y vengamos a Él arrepentidos y deseosos de su comunión. ¿Has estado huyendo de Dios? ¿O quizás amas a alguien que está alejado del Señor? No temas, Dios está a la distancia de un brazo extendido, está atento al clamor de aquellos que arrepentidos vienen a Él. Te animo a que si estás huyendo de Dios y no has visto las victorias que Él te da, que vayas a Él y disfrutes de su comunión y buena voluntad. Si estás orando por alguien que está huyendo, te animo a confiar en Dios y no temer, porque Dios está interesado en sus almas. Continúa orando y amando, confiando en el Señor.

Part of this was a failure to check documents and do audits, but perhaps most horrifyingly, even when imported crops do actually meet organic standards, there’s a decent chance they’ll end up being fumigated upon arrival with pesticides not allowed under USDA organic regulations.
