O.K. O.K.
Here is a Love Letter to Joe the Farmer.
Joe is a character based on the life of Joe
Rodriguez Jr, a fourth generation farming holding
on to continue farming because of support at
the Farmers' market.
Some of us wonder about homeland security.
Once there was a defender of the USA
called G.I. Joe.
He was famous.
Joe the Farmer is in my book
as the defender of our true homeland security.
i hope you enjoy this letter.
If you would like to write a personal thank you
to Joe the Farmer, write him c/o my email
and i will forward your appreciation.
Much love from your enchanted gardener,
Leslie

A Love Letter to Joe the Farmer.
I’m a Friend of the Farm so you and your family
can say, “Happiness is Organic!”
Dear Joe the Farmer,
I thank you now for all the times I never thanked a farmer.
I’m eating organic food and thinking of you
with a renewed appreciation! Thanks for growing food for me.
I accept my responsibility. more now, toward sustaining healthy agriculture. Please accept my gratitude for the caring positive spirit you,
your family, and workers give each day to the earth
in my behalf. You labor through the hot sun,
the rain, the difficulties of natural calamity
and man-made insensitivity to do what it takes to grow food
in harmony with building fertile soil. Because of you,
I have food to grow into all I can be,
and build a body and mind to give my seed dreams expression.
Breathe easier in knowing I understand, and that
I am with you. I join you in growing the Enchanted Garden,
a name for our renewed earth,
that can only be grown one plant at a time,
one person at a time, one step at a time, organically!
I bless that you as a salad grower have
as many salad eaters to satisfy your every need.
What you do daily is for the good health of generations to come.
I will tell others. I will more reverently say,
“I am a friend of the farm” so you, your parents, and offspring can say, “Happiness is Organic!” Rest
in loving arms each eve. I will support consumer education
through consuming with awareness wherever I am.
Thanks for keeping my doctor bills at a minimum;
I can live with it if my main doctor turns out to be
my farmer and Mother Earth my insurance agent!
You are a national treasure! “Lettuce” grow together!
