As we wind down another year preparing our final boxes for those outside of Round Valley, we are encouraged by the resullts of our efforts. Not every seed we started resulted in food for sale and not every plant begun survived the deer, rabbits, crows, gophers and the cucumber beetles, flea beetles and aphids. Still we did manage to increase our sales to restaurants and stores and at the county farmers markets. We increased our pay for our workers and were able to pay our bills on time. We have planted our garlic for the 2014 season and have sown bell beans over most of five acres to build soil for the coming year. We will return then to build on our successes. We hope to increase our CSA memberships.
Sincerely,
Tom Palley

Tom Palley wanted to grow food for people.  He was an apprentice with Alan Chadwick at the Garden Project in Round Valley from 75-77.  Afterwards, he cultivated gardens at both the methodist church and at home while the years passed and he raised a family.  In 88 he bought 10 acres near his house in Round Valley and began farming for market. 


Tom said we could use his poem for Alan Chadwick in this bio:  
 
"Oh ye of silver hair and tongue,
conversing with heaven while standing in dung
one moment the gentleman full of charm
the next going off like an air-raid alarm.
Above your moods your vision towers
of a world not at war but covered with flowers,
vegetables & herbs, fulfilling mans need
and leading him out of the glut of his greed."
