I believe it Alison. After seeing you and
Paul talk about it, it’s hard to imagine you two without a garden around
you! Bill I've always grown too. Paul
too. I think it's what make a good market grower - we can't NOT
GROW. Maybe we can suppress it for a while, but not for long. Must be
something genetic! We have talked about what we would do if we had just
our own garden for our own food, and believe it would have to
be AT LEAST 1/2 acre. Can't imagine growing fewer than 100
tomatoes, for instance - there are just too many we NEED!! And, all the
new varieties that are begging to be tried each year! We may cut back,
grow more of the most profitable crops, etc. as we get older, but can't imagine
ever not growing! Alison Wiediger, Au Naturel Farm From:

On Behalf Of William H Shoemaker I’m old enough to consider
retirement down the road a few years (if my pension survives!). But I
won’t quit working. I’ll probably join your ranks as a market
farmer and I’ll be keen to use GAP as a management tool. I’m
considering it for our University research farm. I’ve always been a
grower (research plots; gardens; my mother accidentally hit me in the forehead
with the back end of a hoe when I was about 7. That’s what sealed my
fate!). I’ll probably grow things around my grave! William H. Shoemaker Sr. Research Specialist, Food Crops 630-584-7254, FAX-584-4610 |
