Interesting article on organic farming and small-scale farms from the Christian review Books & Culture.

Of course, it's nothing of relevance to those who see efficiency and low prices as the only important things in matters economic.

    I'm not interested in paying an extra 30% for my produce so that Old MacDonald's kids can develop a strong work ethic.
    BTW, Super Walmart is running a special on zucchini this week (5 for a dollar).

    Each Wal-Mart store should reflect the values of its customers and support the vision they hold for their community.

    You bet Sammy, and I value falling prices and envision supply chain perfection.
    RIP, you've earned it!
