Never has there been a greater need to connect people to soil, food and community. A small group of experts and activists will come together in an unconstrained and collaborative way to reconnect, explore the farm, cook delicious food and help conjure up a new vision for the land — and humanity.
“Soil is the source of life on Earth. Everything here comes from the soil and returns to the soil. If we take care of the soil, the soil takes care of us and all our needs. Soil is also called "humus”, which is the same root as human—human beings are literally soil beings. Humans need to be respectful of humus; they must practice humility, a word which also derives from the same root.
The word culture is also related to soil. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, until the end of the eighteenth century, culture meant "a cultivated field or piece of land." In other words, the cultivation of the soil. From this we derive the term agriculture. Thus Nature and culture are united. One could not be cultured without cultivating the soil and nurturing Nature.
Culture is the bridge between soil and soul, between humus and humans.”
Culture is the bridge between soil and soul, between humus and humans.”
