Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["TradingPostPaul" <tradingpost@riseup.net>]

What comes across from every page of SFJ is the reverence for a living-life
afforded to those people who feel a natural kinship for that working
craftmanship which results in the hand-made farm. SFJ holds that the
community of small farmers are not best served by a designation of cultural
relic deserving of historical preservation or sympathy. Small farms feed
the world. Small farms are vital to everyone's future.

SFJ recognizes that many people rush to "embrace" the precepts of work,
place and caring as nostalgic because, in part, they are so often told by
mass media, and through public education, that the small family farm (and
perhaps even the family itself) is dead. Saying it doesn't make it so. And
Small Farmer's Journal has dedicated itself to correcting this dangerous
misconception by presentation and example. We at SFJ want to share the
exciting, vital, and accessible realities of small independent family farms
and the healthy vibrant rural communities they make possible. The small
farm is not dead and neither is the family. Far from it. They remain the
cornerstones to a healthy humane society. They provide true food, fuel,
fiber and shelter security for the larger world. They provide the framework
and backdrop for the very best nurturing and rearing of young people.
