"Discipline of the mind is a basic ingredient of genuine morality and therefore of spiritual strength. Spiritual power is the eternal guide, in this life and the life after, for man ranks supreme among all creatures. Led forward by spiritual power, man can reach the summit destined for him by the Great Creator."

"Since nobody can interfere in the realm of God we should tolerate and live side by side with those of other faiths. In the mystic traditions of the different religions we have a remarkable unity of spirit. Whatever religion they may profess, they are spiritual kinsmen. While the different religions in their historic forms bind us to limited groups and militate against the development of loyalty to the world community, the mystics have already stood for the fellowship of humanity in harmony with the spirit of the mystics of ages gone by."

- Haile Selassie

Boulder County's RAS Farms uses Rastafari principles- land and farming considered sacred

Here's a link to a recent article about the works in Boulder county. http://www.dailycamera.com/features/ci_20356486/boulder-countys-ras-farms-uses-rastafari-principles

Ones would find it interesting that the print version of the article actually came out on Easter Sunday, while the online version was out the next day.

CSA Shares are still available. The pickups will start on May 10th. 

Spring is here/ 2012 CSA announcement

It's a big day at RAS Farms. 1st off, it's our son Seth's 16th Birthday. Seems like it was yesterday when I'd wrap him in a blanket and load him up for the early morning trip to the Farmers' Market. He'd eventually poke his head out of the truck, and then go straight for the cinnamon rolls!

In honor of the day, we've also opened up our 2012 CSA program for people to sign up. The brochure can be veiwed/ downloaded from the opening page of our website www.rasfarms.com
Payments can be made via www.paypal.com

We will be taking a sabbatical from the 2012 season from the Boulder County Farmers' Market. This means that the CSA will be our primary marketing outlet. ( We will NOT be offering Saturday pickups at market!!!) Hopefully, this will ease up on the grind a bit, and allow for some more family time. It's due to the success of last year's CSA that we feel comfortable trying this. Please consider adding the CSA program to you or your families lifestyle. There is a limited number of shares, so don't delay!
