The Best Vintage Receivers

Paa taa taa!

On 25 October, day visit to partners The Montañuela farm was a special day for me. It was exactly two years since we started the work on the farm, with the arrival of packets and pipe the gases, gravel, concrete, thermal clay blocks, the stakes and string for the redesign. Two years of work by many people to realize a dream.
That day I felt that finally we are really running. Although we had been nearly two months of weekly delivery and great communication via email and phone, which made me feel that closes the circle was your visit. The uncertainty and stress of months and the weight of the responsibility to vegetables to one hundred families were eased considerably.

SHARED RESPONSIBILITY became for me more than the commitments that bind us, a sensation of walking together, to form part of a larger group. And I think rather than cooperation in food, with children and picking potatoes was by your very presence, knowing you, by your attitude. Thanks to everyone who came.

paa - taa - ta!

Tomorrow is San Martín. Date pork traditional home, party in many towns ... and in Zamudio, for example, where there is a fair. And here, time to plant garlic: "Ajin, Ajin, why are you so mean? ..." Because I do not sown by St. Martin. " But it has rained so much that the soil is too wet to work it. If you do not fall over in a few days, we will plant garlic. And the beans and peas.
Some are already planted in the greenhouse, but most will grow outdoors. We're almost done
isolate the roof of the store inside. The part where we store the squash, garlic and onions. For this we are using wool, the flock of people. Raw as it comes out of the shear, but smeared in borax to prevent the moth eat. And we sink in the room packaging.

Another thing: surely the sense that it has received the box of organic vegetables is different for each one: diet rich in vegetables, food without pesticides, working with rural development, eating local food, friendship, a mix of reasons ... To some also are the model of agriculture, food production. What economic model, cultural and human relations support in making the purchase to eat. Like it or not, whether we realize it or not, we make policy to buy food. In this globalized world is hard to know what is behind our meal, except as direct relationships such as ours.

Film director Erwin Wagenhofer this question became:
"... we had planned a detailed documentary on the Vienna market. Notebooks tried to write the script or treatment for this film, walked up and down markets the city and I thought: What are the markets that is so interesting? And the only thing that interested me were the products. Where does all this? The original idea was to start in the market's most famous Vienna Naschmarkt and see behind the scenes. From where things came from, whence came the tomatoes and all other products? We started indeed with the tomatoes. We did our research and how we ended in Spain ... "(1)
But this was only the beginning of a great journey that has culminated in the documentary film" We feed the world. "just released in theaters. A's Eider left me very excited and passionately announced.

Internet Magazine News Positive (positive news) publishes about this film: "... should not distract our attention from the fact that we have a growing problem of space and food, especially for the loss of agricultural land due to desertification, also caused by the industry, climate change and population growth. But the problem today lies in the inequality, dysfunctional patterns of production and distribution, overconsumption, a great injustice, unfair international trade regulations and subsidies. We feed the world
us into this. "
