The joy of farming: why do you like being an organic farmer?

No farming: no food!

Farmers are playing a vital role in our modern lives and we tend to forget how important they are. Brocoli does not grow on grocery shelves!

To produce organic food, farmers have to respect standards, maintain records, be audited every year by an inspector that will scrutinize their production practices and, most of all, find the appropriate market where to sell their products. And pay the certification fees!

These are the burdens; but what are the positive aspects? What is the satisfaction linked to organic farming? The merit of working close to nature? The proudness of harvesting a rich crop?
