    Default The Gift (short video)

    This is a lovely 3 minute video about seed saving and biodiversity. You can "vote" at the end of it, after you watch, if you wish (easy to do, just with a click).

    I have exchanged several emails over the years with the fellow interviewed in the video (Dan). He is always generous with his time and advice, and is a wealth of information.

    Video description:


    "The Gift is a portrait of Dan Jason, a pioneer in seed farming who has gone against the grain of industrial agriculture. He shares with us an alternate vision of the bounty nature provides."

    Thank you very much for embedding the video for me, Christian! I wasn't sure how to do that myself.

    Here is another wonderful short (~3 minute video) you might enjoy...

    Veterans to Farmers

    As a recently retired Iraq War veteran, I understand the challenges of finding employment after military service. Veterans to Farmers is an amazing program that trains vets in organic greenhouse farming. Not only does this provide meaningful employment, but it strengthens our communities, protects the environment and bolsters our economy by providing local, clean, and traceable fresh food.
