An excerpt from the latest Owen Farm newsletter, from two (recent) former WWOOFers, Mike and Jo: Sustainability is often associated with other words like reduction, reusing, recycling, composting, efficiency, organic, local; but we think its time to focus on a new word that connects the practices of green living to the species in most need of them: love. Working and living on Owen Farm for three weeks has filled us with love, gratitude and a respect for life that we feel is the product of a lifestyle that is opposite of being self-centered. Depending on the time of day we were pig-centered, cow-centered, plant-centered, etc., and if you can find it in your heart to love a pig, a cow, horse, chicken and all the mosquitoes between the front door and the sawmill, then at the end of the day its not so hard to love your neighbor. And by neighbor we mean the one down the street, across town, upstate, downriver, across the pond, from Moscow to Manhattan, Shanghai to Sydney, the Great Plains, New England, the Deep South and the Wild West. Owen Farm grows love, and now that were back on the road, we want to grow love wherever we go, from here to eternity ;o) Thank you, Mike and Jo, and thank you Owen Farm.
