It is so good to know & buy from people who do the right thing for people & the environment without selling out to Big Ag. I am thankful that we live in an area where farmers like you choose to do the right thing...on the other side of the state where my family is from they aren't so lucky. My hometown is surrounded by thousands & thousands of acres of heavily sprayed GE corn & beans-fencerow to fencerow isn't a saying, it is truth--if you live on any edge of the town you are guaranteed to have a field right in your backyard...Grass-fed & pastured meat is impossible to find (literally, my mom & I have been trying!!). The municipal water over there is VERY heavily chlorinated-to the point that it feels "slimy"-when we go to visit, our skin gets very dry. The rate of cancer is also very high (as is everywhere) for such a small population. I am certain that because of the amount of commercial agriculture farming (my own extended family included!) the incredible amount of toxic chemicals that is used in GE fields is affecting the air & water quality so much that many, many people are sick/getting sick. You should be very proud for going against the grain of Big Ag-we thank you for all of your hard work to give families in this area good, clean food & for not contributing to the air/water "crisis"!
