The movement of young farmers that was coming out of La Plata County, Colorado in the mid to late nineties is still growing strong. New ones have started up, and the fire is still burning. Simon was part of the Hesperus Herb Farm crew that became Earthen Revival. InI were all getting the feet wet while helping the Durango Farmers Market become established.

Colorado Biz magazine- Organics vs. Local

There are a few points that make for an interesting read.

1. The ongoing Aurora Organics milk debacle. The author does do a good job of looking/ examing both sides of the issue.

2. Colorado ranks second to California in acerage devoted to organics. ( and that's probabaly based off of known certified organic farms)

3. Kay James of James Ranch outside of Durango saying that the USDA Organic label is "meaningless". I know Kay and reading that made InI at RAS Farms feel that the torch must be held high. The same government that created the banking bailout shitstem, controls the trading of commodities in the first place, and gives you an organic law.......... fire burn. The masses need to wake up.

New shipment of R.A.S. Farms gear available.

Just got a box from the printer of new RAS Farms gear. INI have printed this batch on hemp/ organic cotton t's and hoodies from Highgrade Distribution. Big up to Eric, the Satori Movement Rocky Mountain rep for keeping the link.

InI also have the first ever run of the hemp shopping bag in black. These bags have a nice feature in that there is a set of large and small handles. The natural color is still available as well.
