A few things:

Please feel free to print copies of the product list and flier and pass them out to friends.

I am going to start Friday deliveries. Any order up to 50 pounds can be delivered. There will be 5$ (sliding scale) delivery donation. This donation is optional and a fundraiser for an xtracycle. This piece of equipment will allow DNF to lower its carbon footprint. The 250# capacity of the xtracycle will allow me to pick-up orders from the warehouse in Arvada; and, deliver large orders to friends all around the metro area.

Words from Wendell Berry:

"There is no question that you can cover a lot of ground with the big machines now on the market. A lot of people seem entranced by the power and speed of those machines, which the manufacturers love to refer to as 'monsters' and 'acre-eaters.' But the result is not farming; it is a process akin to mining."

Derrik Jensen:

"This way of living-industrial civilization-is based on, requires, and would collapse very quickly without persistent and widespread exploitation and degradation. This includes exploitation and degradation of the natural world-for what is unsustainability except a fancy word for exploitation and degradation of natural communities?-and it includes exploitation and degradation of those who do not want us to take their resources (or, to another way of thinking, to kill and sell their non-human neighbors). It also includes harming those humans and non-humans who will come later, and who will inherit a pauperized world."

Joel Salatin:

"Everything I want to do is illegal."

  1. Ooooo delivery?! If I ever come back to the States I am going to take you up on that offer for sure. I am in dire need of more whole grains (esp. whole oats... mmm mmm delicious and nutritious). Hope all is well. I'm inspired by your plans and new developments.
