Thursday, December 3~Wendell Berry's visit to Charlottesville
Listen to a podcast of the lecture: "Simple Solutions, Package Deals and a 50 Year Farm Bill"
What an amazing evening.
Overflow crowds turned out to hear this farmer/poet/essayist/prophet at the University of Virginia.
Thank you, Tomas, for including our chicories, Padron peppers and us in the
post lecture gathering and dinner at Mas .
Mr. Berry's work should be at the top of your winter reading list if you are
a human being interested in life on, in and with the earth. Pass it on...
Look for Manakintowne to be profiled on America's Heartland, a nationally syndicated farm show on PBS.
Shooting took place here at the farm and around town on August 6.
The show is set to air on a Sunday afternoon in early winter.
