I get a vicarious pleaure from hearing you wax rhapsodic about the work that you're doing -- even if it isn't "growing food." :-) Preserving the harvest is one of my very favorite things. Just yesterday a friend and I made a batch of strawberry jam, from the pick-your-own orchard down the road. We're still eating last year's pickles that we made with our CSA goodies -- the string beans and the corn relish are so good I can't wait to make more, once those two things flourish here. There's something so satisfying about it - knowing that I'm saving beautiful local vegetables and can savor them all winter long... Beautiful post, Anna!

I am Adam Berman's mom and believe me it's difficult to have your child living so far away. We live in Los Angeles. Articles likes yours make me realize the good work Adam is doing and how it effects young people such as yourself. G-d bless you. rita berman Dear Anna,

Stan and I are also celebrating our anny on the same day as your parents...A friend just shared that with me. So all the best to them. Ours is year 32. I returned to farming and all what you talk about is what I follow ....organic and natural farming. The gift of growing our own food and trying to live without chemicals is very powerful.Last year i harvested my first apples.This year the blueberries look great. the strwberries plants are too knew but I expect to see fruits next year. The wild strawberries around the property will do for now. Today during breakfast we had two Western Tanagers,about 4 hummingbirds and Black headed grosbeaks...lets not forget the Eagles. The bumble bees and 4 bee hives are very happy. keep educating those around you. We need your voices so that future generation realize the need to protect our soil and in turn the drinking water. best jacqui Dear Anna

As with vegetables, the miracle of life that God set in motion is truly amazing. Thank you daughter, for being such an inspiration. I can visualize you in your 4 acres back east; my parental pride is like savouring the taste of a fresh picked home grown salad or fruit. As our Rabbi says, we are all God's partners in making this work so beautifully!
