If the Peasantry School really is a school, you really are its teacher. And like all great teachers you teach the same basic lessons time and time again - but without ever repeating yourself… what a gift! Thank you, Adam.

And all teachers must also be students and practitioners, and if I do anything well, it is those two things. The practices create the conditions for the learning to emerge. If I ever get this book written, that is its thesis.

I live in the UK and may never get to visit Sand River (though I'd love to) but was moved to have the good fortune from here to be able to send some support - I get so much joy and meaning and tears and connection from reading about this wonderful way of living with every post.

Your work and the farm and the stories you share of learning from calves and Henry Schermerhorn’s care in saving twine and carefully stacking boards, and your food sharing mission are part of my spiritual sustenance. Stay in truth and gratitude.Thank you.
