Trip to Vermont: Flack Family Farm

How to sum up our visit to Flack Family Farm? I could talk about Doug Flack's delicious sauerkraut.  Or his beautiful Red Devon cattle.  Or the enormous cabbage.  Or his sweet American Farm dog, Buster. Or his passion for counteracting the decline of food quality.  Ok, I cannot sum it up.  Here are some photos:

You can take a look at the website.  I would recommend a visit to the place--I have never seen such vibrant vegetables!

Doug's passion for growing delicious vegetables and nutritious animal products is based on the Weston A Price Foundation as well as biodynamic and organic practices.

He gave us a mini-lecture and showed us a timeline of cheap food in the United States.
