Why We Farm

This is the season that whispers in the ears of so many, “Farm! Ranch! Grow new life!” The whisper sends us to the pasture, to the coops, and to the barns, and for those who don’t have the luck of access to those things, to the garden department for tomato starts. In honor of this early spring, here’s a little something from farmer and poet, Wendell Berry. Enjoy!

I am the founder, editor and publisher of On Pasture, now retired. My career spanned 40 years of finding creative solutions to problems, and sharing ideas with people that encouraged them to work together and try new things. From figuring out how to teach livestock to eat weeds, to teaching range management to high schoolers, outdoor ed graduation camping trips with fifty 6th graders at a time, building firebreaks with a 130-goat herd, developing the signs and interpretation for the Storm King Fourteen Memorial trail, receiving the Conservation Service Award for my work building the 150-mile mountain bike trail from Grand Junction, Colorado to Moab, Utah...well, the list is long so I'll stop with, I've had a great time and I'm very grateful.
