It seems there’s hardly a day that something doesn’t break down on a family farm. Choppers, silo chutes, milking tubes. Ed’s life is a model in resilence, hard work, adaptability. Family farms are symbols of much more than some milk. To me, they speak of family, individualism, freedom, and a way of life that is endangered. I am excited that we have decided to bring the family farm notecards on the book tour. We have one black and white and one color set of the Rouse farm, and are printing a series of cards showing photos of Judy Baldwin, Ed’s daughter. These signed cards are also available for sale at the Redux Gallery, online or by phone: 802 967-4211. I am pleased to be able to offer these images of one family farm, and hopefully help farmers a bit as well. A portion of the proceeds go to the Washington County Farm Bureau and to other farm aid groups.
