I'm (rather my lawyer is) negotiating a deal with the D.A.
over legal violations here at the farm
it includes, pleading guilty, probation
and a rather large fine

One of the requirements of probation
is to not violate the law
It is not possible to continue here without being in violation
The mandated water cuts that limit
growing space also influenced
my thought process in arriving at a decision to
discontinue operations here (see the announcement below)

I've agonized over this decision
so many people have invested much effort
on the farm's behalf
I dislike discounting that help by giving in
but there is no good alternative

We're going to have a Final Harvest Third Saturday Party
on September 18th
I would be honored if you would attend

Fondest Regards,

Dear friends, friends of the farm, eaters, volunteers, fellow farmers,
apprentices, chefs, fellow travelers, magnificent humans all:

I have decided to close La Milpa Organica Farm.
Farming would ideally be focused on caretaking the land, growing food
and feeding people. Unfortunately, the administrative burden imposed by
the existing regulatory framework has made it impossible to continue.

I am truly humbled by the support that the people of San Diego have
given the farm and me personally.

The farm has been a great success in terms of feeding people. We have
been able to maintain year-round vegetable production for seven years.
Vegetables are incapable of lying. That is, the quality, taste,
freshness of our produce are an honest reflection of the place and
conditions under which they were grown and harvested. I am very proud of
the story they tell us each day.

The local food movement has grown considerably during my tenure, the new
farms coming along insure that there will not be food vacuum left in our
wake.

I know that I am leaving this land in better condition than I found it.
The quality of the soil and increased bio-diversity reflects that.
Still I am saddened to turn off the irrigation and leave.

Our fund raising efforts for a well raised seven thousand dollars. San
Diego Roots is holding those funds against future need. Thank you
everyone who contributed. I would like those funds used to develop the
newly established San Diego Roots farm.

I will be taking some time off to reflect and heal.

I again would like to say thank you and wish you all blessings and good
health.

Barry

ACT FOUR OF
BEET KEEPERS, RETURN!

[ Written in the middle of the night
by inspiration.... Yikes! This needs work!!!!

We are each called forth now to adapt to Nature and no longer ask Nature
to adapt to us. We stand up to the powers that be. We speak up.
We begin to speak up September 18, proclaimed World Beet Day, the
day of At One Ment, as honored by our allies in the Jewish Tradition
around the world who are called by their faith to fast.

September 18, 2010.

It is a day that is remembered in the History of Peace on Earth.

September 16, 2010.
