Every since the economists and politicians decided the family farm was no longer an efficient element in the new economy, the family farm has been vanishing, beset by low milk and produce produces, suffocating government regulation, rapacious corporate farms with hundreds, even thousands of dairy cows.

Every family farm is a struggle, every one on edge. I love to visit Bejosh Farm, it is a real place, built and run with love and grueling work and commitment. There, I find true values of friendship and honesty and the pride of good and hard work, done every day.

I’m sorry that farmers are too busy to organize or post much on Facebook, perhaps they could have made their lives easier. As it is, I cherish every one that I can see and photograph and write about. Hang in there.
