From 1940 to 1978, agriculture became polarized in

From 1940 to 1978, agriculture became polarized into organic and non-organic camps, with little communication between the two- and this is where we continue to exist today.

In the early 40s, Jerome Rodale, inspired by Sir Albert Howard's organic principles, purchased a farm in Pennsylvania and began promoting organic farming. In 1942, Rodale launched Organic Farming and Gardening magazine, which popularized organic concepts in the U.S. His books, like Pay Dirt and The Organic Front, further spread the message, framing organic farming as a battle against modern man-assisted methods.

These books were followed closely in release by Rodale's book, "The War in the Soil". Both Howard and Rodale saw the conflict of organic versus non-organic agriculture as a struggle between two different visions of what agriculture should become as they engaged in a war of words with the agricultural establishment.

Critics from the agricultural establishment dismissed organic advocates as "gloomy prophets" and "a cult," but modern research has disproven many of their arguments. Not only were those early arguments incorrect, but they also misrepresented the principles of organic farming as if it were defined by carbon (organic) chemistry rather than a philosophy of living systems.

As time has gone by and enough years have passed to see the long-term environmental and health effects, the fire behind organic farming has been rekindled, and research into the benefits of organic farming methods continues. A great documentary to check out would be Farmer's Footprints- where Zach Hall dives into the idea of accelerating regenerative agriculture as a means to restore human and planetary health. It's less than an hour, and it's on youtube.

Thank you for taking this journey with us into the origins of the philosophy of organic agriculture. There is always so much more to learn and explore, and we will continue to share and inspire. We hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

As we continue on our journey through the history

As we continue on our journey through the history of organic gardening, we pay homage to Walter Northbourne, who was apparently the first to apply the word “organic” in application to farming. In 1940, Northbourne published an influential book, Look to the Land, in which he elaborated on the idea of the farm as an “organic whole”–in the philosophical sense “organic” refers to “having a complex but necessary interrelationship of parts, similar to that in living things.”

This concept of organic is similar in many respects to the holistic ideas more recently expressed by James Lovelock in the Gaia Hypothesis and Lynn Margulis in her book Symbiotic Planet, but on the smaller scale of a whole farm as a symbiotic unit.

In this respect, the organic farmer functions in concert with the symbiotic unit by being in daily contact with and having a feeling for the whole farm organism. It is also important to distinguish this meaning of “organic” as it applies to a system of farming from the common misunderstanding that “organic” specifically refers to the carbon based chemistry of the fertilizers that are often used in organic farming.

Our journey will continue next week as we dive into the polarization that began as the synthetic chemical version of nutrients became more prevalent in the 1940s, and the concept of organic farming began its first battle.

A large, new study found 🥦 use in adults correlates to increases in certain types of physical activity. And no amount of pot use increased sedentary behavior compared to a control group.

This research builds on previous studies debunking the plant's bad reputation for creating couch potatoes. Researchers found that daily blazers had a 4% increased chance of light physical activity.

The recent study (Xue, 2024), published in the journal Cannabi$ and Cannabinoid Research, offers the largest sample size that looks into this question to date. It included 4,666 adults aged 18 to 59.

The researchers also controlled for factors that could muddy the results, like co-use of other drugs like alcohol, race and poverty, and medical factors.

If you want to dive more into this article- we dropped a link in our bio to the write-up we found on leafly that will link to all of the relevant case studies <3

As the days grow shorter and the leaves start to turn, we know one thing for sure—Croptober is just around the corner! 🍂 Our growers are preparing for that golden moment to harvest the finest flowers. While Croptober doesn’t mean the flower is in our stores just yet, it does signal that we’re one step closer.

We can’t wait to welcome this year’s unique strains as they begin to roll out in November and December 🙌

Sending all our love and good vibes to the farmers as they step into this magical time of year—your passion is what makes it all possible. 💚 Stay tuned, friends, because the harvest is happening soon, and good things are definitely growing! 🌱

🍁Fall is coming- what terps can we use for intr

🍁Fall is coming- what terps can we use for introspection as we welcome a season of transition, change, and reflection?

Some of the most commonly sought out terpenes when looking at meditation are Myrcene, Linalool, and Beta-Caryophyllene.🌸Terps that boast a floral aroma have seen the most success, so some users may find Bisabolol or Geraniol that boast chamomile and rose aromas.

🥦As all of these terpenes are relatively common- you should have no trouble locating a few strains nearby with varying ratios of these terps with which to experiment. Tread slowly when trying new strains, each experience will vary depending on the person. Ask your budtender to help to guide you through this beautiful green world and find the best strain for you!

🌹Before we let you set off on your meditation journey- another thing to consider are some apothecary herbs could help to enhance your the introspection. Checkout how Blue Lotus or Mugwort may compliment this journey, and you can always blend in actual lavender flowers! Ask our herbalist or one of our budtenders for ideas 😍🥰

A large, new study found 🥦 use in adults correlates to increases in certain types of physical activity. And no amount of pot use increased sedentary behavior compared to a control group.

This research builds on previous studies debunking the plant's bad reputation for creating couch potatoes. Researchers found that daily blazers had a 4% increased chance of light physical activity.

The recent study (Xue, 2024), published in the journal Cannabi$ and Cannabinoid Research, offers the largest sample size that looks into this question to date. It included 4,666 adults aged 18 to 59.

The researchers also controlled for factors that could muddy the results, like co-use of other drugs like alcohol, race and poverty, and medical factors.

If you want to dive more into this article- we dropped a link in our bio to the write-up we found on leafly that will link to all of the relevant case studies <3

As the days grow shorter and the leaves start to turn, we know one thing for sure—Croptober is just around the corner! 🍂 Our growers are preparing for that golden moment to harvest the finest flowers. While Croptober doesn’t mean the flower is in our stores just yet, it does signal that we’re one step closer.

We can’t wait to welcome this year’s unique strains as they begin to roll out in November and December 🙌

Sending all our love and good vibes to the farmers as they step into this magical time of year—your passion is what makes it all possible. 💚 Stay tuned, friends, because the harvest is happening soon, and good things are definitely growing! 🌱

🍁Fall is coming- what terps can we use for intr

🍁Fall is coming- what terps can we use for introspection as we welcome a season of transition, change, and reflection?

Some of the most commonly sought out terpenes when looking at meditation are Myrcene, Linalool, and Beta-Caryophyllene.🌸Terps that boast a floral aroma have seen the most success, so some users may find Bisabolol or Geraniol that boast chamomile and rose aromas.

🥦As all of these terpenes are relatively common- you should have no trouble locating a few strains nearby with varying ratios of these terps with which to experiment. Tread slowly when trying new strains, each experience will vary depending on the person. Ask your budtender to help to guide you through this beautiful green world and find the best strain for you!

🌹Before we let you set off on your meditation journey- another thing to consider are some apothecary herbs could help to enhance your the introspection. Checkout how Blue Lotus or Mugwort may compliment this journey, and you can always blend in actual lavender flowers! Ask our herbalist or one of our budtenders for ideas 😍🥰
