I tried to get the documentation "The Future of Food" in different Viedo stores in my area. Either I was told they were not allowed to sell or rent them or they weren't taken off the shelf(in my town through the owner of the grocry store). Finally I…
If you are a brewer, a lover of home brew beer, or just interested in making beer or wine at home, this is your place. I do not support anyone provider of brewing items, but the community. I brew what tastes good to me and so should you. PROST!

- A bit about me:
- I moved to Canada a few years ago from Germany.
Having worked there in the car industry wasn't nice all the time.Thanks to God I still could have a few acres to work with my horses (after getting my German Trainer license) and grow a bit of my own stuff.
After beeing to Ontario several times in the early 1980's and then later on in 2000 I decided its time to change something.Finally I moved here.
Now I'm taking care of an 100acre farm, grow gras for hay, veggies and healthy soil.
Isn't the soil the most important thing if you wanna heve
sucess in growing crops keeping animals?
When I first moved here I started with a friend just using
a natural Plantfood he brought over from his great grandfather when they moved from France.
I gave it a try and for sure without any commercial fertilizers my plants were getting healthier as ever, the fruits tasted a lot better and the digestable protein in pasture and hayfeldswent up amazing.
Then I started out mixing my own all natural insectrepellent (a recipe a found in my grandfahters box)
Well so I keep my own simple lifestyle.Any questions? just ask.

The future of food
I tried to get the documentation "The Future of Food" in different Viedo stores in my area. Either I was told they were not allowed to sell or rent them or they weren't taken off the shelf(in my town through the owner of the grocry store). Finally I got a copy through a friend.
Now what can be done legally to make people aware about the food situation and how unhealthy it is to buy food in big stores?

Weekly Wrap-Up of Farm & Food News
All week long, we post updates on what's happening at Farm Aid and in the world of farms and food on Twitter. In case you missed some of those links, below are some notable stories we shared over since our last update:- The "Crop Mob" trend. Volunteers visit family farms to help do work—I'm sure a lot of farmers would welcome this!
- A new website is available to help you learn "Where is my milk from?"
- "Last Clucks: The Death of a Chicken" by an author who spent last year on a farm. "To appreciate your white meat and where it came from, all you need is a bird and a straight razor."
- Black farmers look forward to USDA settlement — where they will get paid for years of discrimination in getting turned down for loans.
- A Missouri town banded together to keep a new factory farm from being built, but the battle is now going statewide and local laws may be overturned to allow these farms in.
- A Boston Globe article about the rising popularity of ordering grass-fed & other meat directly from farmers online.
- "Speak Your Piece: Guess Who's Missing From Antitrust Hearing?" (Spoiler alert: It's farmers!)
- And finally, does your 6-year old know what a tomato looks like? These kids don't...
