NOFA-NJ Conference

Paul & Sandy Arnold, Pleasant Valley Farm, Argyle, NY successful vegetable growers in upstate NY share their knowledge plus they took on the task of recording the NJ conference... I'm impressed with the quality of the recordings so far. This is a conference that wasn't on our schedule but this gives me the hope that we can preserve the organic voices without having to travel the country. We believe that this preservation project is an important mission. 

Paul & Sandy are exceptional growers & presenters. They are a MUST listen. Not only are they great growers & presenters, they will encourage & inspire the veteran & novice grower alike. Farmers are a tough bunch but every person can use a little encouragement, inspiration & vision. We believe that the most important "nutrient" for any human is ideas. There is an ancient verse that says it best... "man does not live by bread alone but by words..." you can reject the book this wisdom literature came from but the undeniable truth is that humans are the only "idea driven" organism.
