I had a very inspiring and deeply insightful conversation with Richard Andres, owner of Tantre Farm in Michigan. Richard is a farmer, a philosopher, and former carpenter. Well I say former carpenter but I am sure his carpentry skills come in super handy on the farm. Those are one set of skills I wish I had more of.
So when I say my conversation was deeply insightful that is probably an understatement. When I noticed in Richard’s bio that he worked with the Ann Arbor and Toronto Zen Buddhist temples, I figured that our conversation may go well beyond the economics of farming. And it certainly did. When I left the conversation with Richard, I felt a deep understanding about WHY he does what he does and why feeding people and connecting with people through food is at the foundation of everything he does…from a very successful CSA, upick, and meal program to the farm education…he serves his community through food. With his wife Deb by his side, they are such an positive force in their community and with everyone they touch.
I left my conversation with Richard conveying to him that he needs to write a book…the world needs to hear his unique wisdom and philosophies about food and farming. I encourage you to mindfully listen to this episode with an open heart. It will help to fill you!
