THE FARM: A HAVEN OF NORMALCY
As we conclude this wild coronavirus week, let's remember how many things are completely stable and normal in this uncertain time.
MORE CORONAVIRUS FALLOUT
I have a fairly extensive speaking schedule around the world, and today it began to really collapse. I can see things in April postponing, but one postponed that was scheduled for Oct. 24. Really? Does anyone think we're going to be in this situation Oct. 24?
WHAT WE'RE LEARNING
If the coronavirus changes protocols in our culture, it will have been well worth it. Time will tell. What is the coronavirus teaching us?
CORONAVIRUS MO
Can you spare another few minutes of coronavirus chatter? The Wall Street Journal yesterday carried an article about a New Jersey school teacher who took his class to Italy and contracted the coronavirus and almost died. His story is terrifying and his warnings dire.
CASH APP FOR HEALTH CARE
The Freedom Hub is dedicated to all liberty-minded options in health. I was a guest on their program last year. On an upcoming program, they will highlight the work of Jawad Arshad, an emergency room doctor who got so fed up with health care bureaucracy that he finally developed a Health Cash Market app.
MEN FAIR FOOD TRUCKS
I'm learning a ton about events and food trucks. As we plan the Mother Earth News (MEN) fair here July 17-18 (www.motherearthfair.com) the nuances of what we want and what we don't want become more complex by the day. It's fascinating.
FOOD FREEDOM IN WEST VIRGINIA
I'm not a member of any political party and move freely between liberals and libertarians. If somebody embraces food freedom, I don't care what political persuasion they're from; I'll promote them.
CREATING BRIGHT EYED HIGH SCHOOLERS
Yesterday I spent the day with the organizers of what promises to be the largest nature resort east of the Mississippi. The 550 acre property is currently just forest, but things will happen soon as it takes shape. It's located west of Strasburg, Virginia out Route 55….
CORONAVIRUS AND SOCIETY
As you know, coronavirus is front and center. Yesterday for the first time I had a guy refuse to shake my hand after a speech, citing coronavirus fears. I was taken aback. You mean people can't touch anymore?
WEEDING WOODLOTS
I had the distinct pleasure of spending the day Friday with America's foremost horse logging forestry expert, Jason Rutledge. He's going to be conducting live cutting and selection workshops with his horses at the Mother Earth News fair here at Polyface July 17-18. Do you have your tickets yet? Hint hint.
