“In the United States, we hear this argument often that US beef producers couldn't possibly switch to an organic means of beef production — that not using hormones would be incredibly expensive, and the beef market would collapse.
But you really have to question that, because if the EU can do it, why can't the United States?”

"This will be an indoor and outdoor event, so wear your woolies and come enjoy a warm drink, see old friends, meet new friends and bring home some #scionwood for grafting and s#eeds for planting!

"#Gardeners and #orchardists are invited to bring their seeds, #scionwood and #cuttings to share. If you don’t have any, come anyway!

"Community members and local seed growers regularly bring an incredible variety of vegetable, fruit, flower, and herb seeds. We also regularly have over 150+ types of scionwood to share, including scionwood sourced from MOFGA’s orchards. We will also have limited quantities of #rootstock for sale. Custom grafting is available by donation to the #MaineHeritageOrchard.

"Other items for sharing are welcome such as plants, cuttings, #seedlings, hatching eggs, #kombucha and #YogurtStarters, #salves and other #homemade items.

"The day’s offerings also include gardening workshops, #FruitTree care demonstrations, vendors, educational booths, and more.

"This event is located at MOFGA’s Common Ground Education Center, 294 Crosby Brook Rd, Unity, Maine."

I basically caught the tail end of this.

It seems like no one asked the #organicfarmers, which is disappointing.

And I think people need to sound the alarm that the #farright in Europe is trying to exploit #farmers' concerns for their own agenda
