Be a charmer. Despite all, people are still charmed when they encounter
the farm and community life of old. This is a huge asset. Media can
manipulate the image but they can't deliver the reality of personally
meaningful old-time down-home farm and community life. They own the media,
but we own our lives.

Live your life. As a farmer, as a charmer. Be (t)here now. Drink deep
and often at the source: visit the farms. Deliver to the people by direct
marketing, csa's, farm markets, b&b's. Keep on keepin' on.

I'd like to visit Dennis's farm, if he has one. I've visited Joel's farm.
It is charming. Does that sound patronizing? WRONG!!
