Good day:)

I guess the kind of farm, and sentiment I'm looking for is outlined best in
Louis Bromfield's Malabar Farm. That book like Mollison's made a profound
impact on me.

Bromfield loved the land, and over time took a depleted run down farm, and
turned it into an old fashioned thriving farm that more fully utilized it's
resources.

In so doing he emphasized the importance of good soil and worked diligently
to do all he could to improve his soils, which then produced an abundance of
high quality, good tasting crops raised without reliance on chemicals or
pesticides.

Bye for now. Frank
