Update from Brookside Farm – Spring 2009

March 5th, 2009 by Catherine Meng

Welling Tom of Brookside Farm in Brentwood reports the following:

1. What Are You Planting?

Welling Tom: We have been planting some new fruit trees: sour cherries, Blenheim apricots, Elberta peaches, “donut” peaches, Fuyu persimmons, and apriums. As for vegetables; tomatoes, sweet peppers, and eggplants have been started in the green house during the past month, while fava beans, sugar snap peas, arugula, Chioggia beets, mizuna, bok choy, and Bloomsdale spinach were planted out in the field. During this month, Ambrosia melons, Japanese cucumbers, okra, and ‘Musica” beans will be started in the green house.

2. What are you excited about that is new this year?

Welling Tom: The sour cherries are new to us, and we planted them mostly to meet a request from Maggie Klein, although it will probably be at least 3 years before any of these new trees yield any significant harvests. In other news, we have a new hired hand who will help us be more productive. We also have a prospective student intern.

3. What are you excited about that is not new?

Welling Tom: Other than our sour cherries, we are not growing any crops that we have not been growing for several years. We are more focused on improving the management of our crops.

4. What are you concerned about?

Welling Tom: We are concerned about the availability of water from our county irrigation district. We depend on the county water supply to water our fruit orchard. We are also concerned about whether our income will be adequate this year.

The Economy – Wendell Berry on the small farm

March 1st, 2009 by Catherine Meng

Wendell Berry’s disdain for modern technology (computers especially) has been well documented. So it feels a bit odd to be conjuring him here, on a website. Despite this difference, Berry is truly a kindred spirit. The following passage although written in 1981, resonates eerily with much of this journal’s raison d’etre.

“…I want to suggest that it may be impossible to defend the small farm by itself or for its own sake. The small farm cannot be “developed” like a product or a program. Like a household, it is a human organism, and has its origin in both nature and culture. Its justification is not only agricultural, but is a part of an ancient pattern of values, ideas, aspirations, attitudes, faiths, knowledges, and skills that propose and support the sound establishment of a people on the land. To defend the small farm is to defend a large part, and the best part, of our cultural inheritance.

Defenders of the small farm (to use only the most immediate example) must take care never to use the word ‘economy’ to mean only ‘money economy.’ We must us it to mean also – as the origin of the word instructs – the order of households. And we must therefore judge economic health by the health of households, both human and natural.”

-Wendell Berry, The Gift of Good Land, 1981
