I am just sharing this with you:
“Pope Benedict XVI championed the environment in the Vatican’s annual World Day of Peace message.

In his address, called “If You Want to Cultivate Peace, Protect Creation,” the pope said peace with the natural environment is the beginning of peace with all of God’s creation, including people.

“Respect for creation is of immense consequence, not least because creation is the beginning and the foundation of all God’s works, and its preservation has now become essential for the pacific coexistence of mankind,” the pope said.”

I haven't been there since I was about 11, some 37 years ago. Didn't remember much of the place. Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you. My father and I went by the farm but it looked like you were out harvesting. Next time we'll try a little harder to hunt you down. Loved the video. My 9 year old son Phillip got a kick out of it. Take care. P.S. Love those fries! Scott, Just returned from Van Buren with my father, Eugene. I haven’t been there since I was about 11, some 37 years ago. Didn’t remember much of the place.

The farm’s six horses, as the farm’s name would suggest, do virtually all of the tilling, planting, cultivating, haying, harvesting, fertilization, and logging. Horsepower farm is part of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardener’s Association (MOFGA), the oldest and largest state organic organization in the country; they take on a few apprentices each year through the Rural Heritage Apprenticeship Network. In addition to sheep, chickens, and summer pigs, they grow organic market garden vegetables, dry beans, and storage crops.  [...] [...] Horsepower farm, located in Penobscot, Maine, is owned and run by Paul (Meghan’s grandfather-in-law), Andy & Donna (Meghan’s in-laws) Birdsall.
