About Dave and Sonia
“The people who are aware of what they’re eating are realizing things are
getting pretty scary out there.” Dave Dutton, New York Times,
In New York,
Local Meat Is Easier to Find, June 8, 2010
We were both vegetarians for many years and have been into organics for a
LONG TIME. We come from a background of world music, Indian dance, Chinese qi-gong
and martial arts and kundalini maha yoga. We took a one year training course in
biodynamics at SunBridge College.
We envision creating a connection between food, culture and community. Our
entire journey, has taken us full circle, from a complicated, exciting,
educational cultural life in the city, to the feeling of urgency to getting back
to a balanced, healthier, earth based reality, rather than a money driven,
technological one. The food is a bridge back to ourselves and a healthy
connection with Mother Nature.
Imagine the following picture, when you are a fetus inside your mother, you
are absorbing what your mother eats and feels, the healthier and stronger she is
the same applies to the baby. So when we are out of our mothers and walk over
mother earth, the foods we get from her, if they are poison with chemicals, and
what not, it will sicken and weaken us, creating the materialistic humans that
can't feel anymore. The interaction between us as the farmers, healing the soil
and helping to bring healthier food to you all, will create a livelier more
meaningful social network.
