I own an urban farm in Lakewood and would like to meet you – maybe meet for a coffee or a beer or something? I can be reached at info at basilandbeyond dot com.

Thanks!

The term family farm will always be vague, and the use of it as some kind of pastoral image of idealistic farming, especially with regard to this issue, really burns me up. For all intents and purposes, Cargill is a family farm.

And I would agree that sustainable agriculture could be vague. Maybe I’ll write a longer post about that. But, it is possible to define some standards for sustainable agriculture. One possibility is, some kind of governing body could create standards for sustainable practices that farmers could choose to adhere for a certification.

Thanks for your comment.

You are correct, the term ‘family farm’ is nebulous. But I would submit that ‘sustainable agriculture’ is also equally vague.
