\n
00:51<\/div>\n
\n
yeah I just want to say one thing okay<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:53<\/div>\n
\n
it’s not<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:54<\/div>\n
\n
I put not-for-profit because I thought<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:58<\/div>\n
\n
it would sound like a joke if I said<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:59<\/div>\n
\n
nonprofit because those of us who are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:01<\/div>\n
\n
farming farmers know there is no profit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:04<\/div>\n
\n
so so not four-bit pretty pretty much<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:08<\/div>\n
\n
every farm is a non-profit that’s right<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
01:58<\/div>\n
\n
located there I’ve been there it’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:00<\/div>\n
\n
beautiful so did you actually start as a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:02<\/div>\n
\n
business or you just started because you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:04<\/div>\n
\n
want to be farmer oh really good<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:07<\/div>\n
\n
questions okay we’ll start with your<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:10<\/div>\n
\n
question<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:11<\/div>\n
\n
we started as a poor a for-profit farm<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:14<\/div>\n
\n
not knowing that none would be the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:20<\/div>\n
\n
better route to take when resting I<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:24<\/div>\n
\n
moved back here this is where we both<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:26<\/div>\n
\n
grew up I was in Seattle WA<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:28<\/div>\n
\n
the desert students – education and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:31<\/div>\n
\n
recipe my husband was a landscape<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:34<\/div>\n
\n
gardener and Whitford Rhode Island so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:37<\/div>\n
\n
the last year of my grad program we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:40<\/div>\n
\n
married so we was both on the Pacific<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:42<\/div>\n
\n
Northwest Coast we had a chance to buy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:45<\/div>\n
\n
this farm his folks are about 30 miles<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:48<\/div>\n
\n
away and I have two sisters I don’t my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:51<\/div>\n
\n
four sisters that live just over the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:53<\/div>\n
\n
hill from this farm so we had a chance<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:55<\/div>\n
\n
to purchase it and I began school<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:00<\/div>\n
\n
teacher science teacher and rusty<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:01<\/div>\n
\n
started a landscape business and we were<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:06<\/div>\n
\n
starting our business with that in mind<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:09<\/div>\n
\n
so we could build community I know as an<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:12<\/div>\n
\n
educator people want to know that you’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:15<\/div>\n
\n
an educator and so on and so forth and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:18<\/div>\n
\n
then we started building I retired to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:24<\/div>\n
\n
the farm probably five years into our<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:27<\/div>\n
\n
for-profit business and then shortly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:30<\/div>\n
\n
after that we wrote the regs or you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:34<\/div>\n
\n
men all the qualifications with the IRS<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:40<\/div>\n
\n
it sounds a bit windy there so there’s a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:46<\/div>\n
\n
lot of static okay so so what are some<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:51<\/div>\n
\n
of the advantages because obviously you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:54<\/div>\n
\n
you say you started out as a for-profit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:56<\/div>\n
\n
but then you transition to a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:58<\/div>\n
\n
not-for-profit what was the what was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:01<\/div>\n
\n
really the primary motivation for doing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:03<\/div>\n
\n
that yeah the real motivation was to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:06<\/div>\n
\n
able to write grants to be able to bring<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:09<\/div>\n
\n
as many pre-kindergarten to adults to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:14<\/div>\n
\n
quiet Creek to let them enjoy the farm<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:17<\/div>\n
\n
and there’s many foundations and federal<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:20<\/div>\n
\n
and state agencies that want to meet the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:24<\/div>\n
\n
mission that quiet Creek has and they<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:28<\/div>\n
\n
have tax dollars available to educate<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:31<\/div>\n
\n
and the Foundation’s have corporate<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:35<\/div>\n
\n
profits available and so once you become<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:39<\/div>\n
\n
a not-for-profit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:41<\/div>\n
\n
you can write grants to seek that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:44<\/div>\n
\n
funding so their mission is mat quiet<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:48<\/div>\n
\n
creeks mesh mission is met so that was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:50<\/div>\n
\n
our real intent we wanted to try to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:52<\/div>\n
\n
educate as many people as possible but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:54<\/div>\n
\n
we found many school districts you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:58<\/div>\n
\n
pre-kindergarten organizations they just<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:02<\/div>\n
\n
may not have the funding to put out to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:05<\/div>\n
\n
make a field experience or to come on a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:07<\/div>\n
\n
regular basis we’ve been doing a lot of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:09<\/div>\n
\n
that where the kids come weekly or we go<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:12<\/div>\n
\n
into their classroom weekly do you find<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:14<\/div>\n
\n
that with the not-for-profit status you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:17<\/div>\n
\n
we always used to say there was like the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:19<\/div>\n
\n
white hat kind of thing you’re you’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:21<\/div>\n
\n
suddenly like a good guy you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:23<\/div>\n
\n
because yeah I think a lot of people<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:27<\/div>\n
\n
view us that way Jay I think you truly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:31<\/div>\n
\n
are a public servant I put it in the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:33<\/div>\n
\n
same category as like a male person or a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:37<\/div>\n
\n
teacher or you know working for the post<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:41<\/div>\n
\n
office or not federal or state workers<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:44<\/div>\n
\n
or County workers but we are working for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:49<\/div>\n
\n
the general population to improve a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:52<\/div>\n
\n
certain topic and in our case become<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:55<\/div>\n
\n
more sustainable so so right from the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:57<\/div>\n
\n
start you were thinking about this you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:59<\/div>\n
\n
know it’s a farm but but it was more of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:02<\/div>\n
\n
an educational activity is that really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:05<\/div>\n
\n
how you viewed it right from the start<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:06<\/div>\n
\n
yeah we really did we started having<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:11<\/div>\n
\n
classes and free festivals right off the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:14<\/div>\n
\n
bat I think I was in my first year of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:16<\/div>\n
\n
teaching and I had a group of seventh<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:18<\/div>\n
\n
graders and we opened it up for them to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:22<\/div>\n
\n
come out with their families and then<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:24<\/div>\n
\n
open it up to the Brookville community<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:26<\/div>\n
\n
the closest little town that we serve<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:29<\/div>\n
\n
and so right off the bat so this all<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:31<\/div>\n
\n
started in 1996 but we became official<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:37<\/div>\n
\n
status as a 501c3 in 2003<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:41<\/div>\n
\n
okay so it was a long process then yeah<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:44<\/div>\n
\n
kind of you know where to go it was a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:48<\/div>\n
\n
fun opportunity because in my family we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:51<\/div>\n
\n
give homemade gifts in our extended<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:53<\/div>\n
\n
family and my brother is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:55<\/div>\n
\n
certified public accountant and his<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:58<\/div>\n
\n
homemade gift for me was to help me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:00<\/div>\n
\n
write the necessary documents for the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:04<\/div>\n
\n
IRS to become a not-for-profit so very<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:07<\/div>\n
\n
nice gift so one of the things that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:10<\/div>\n
\n
James passed also was what do you think<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:12<\/div>\n
\n
are some of the disadvantages because I<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:14<\/div>\n
\n
was thinking about the fact that so you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:18<\/div>\n
\n
have this not-for-profit and you’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:20<\/div>\n
\n
working hard and it’s a beautiful place<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:22<\/div>\n
\n
I have been there to visit and really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:25<\/div>\n
\n
think the world of what you’re doing but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:27<\/div>\n
\n
I’m thinking alright at some point you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:29<\/div>\n
\n
might get tired of doing that or you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:32<\/div>\n
\n
might be into a place where you need to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:35<\/div>\n
\n
retire or maybe there’s some health<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:37<\/div>\n
\n
issues how does that work that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:39<\/div>\n
\n
transition and with that following two<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:41<\/div>\n
\n
disadvantages or advantages oh good<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:44<\/div>\n
\n
question and thanks for the kind words<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:46<\/div>\n
\n
to any yes I would say the disadvantage<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:52<\/div>\n
\n
would be as any teaching component you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:56<\/div>\n
\n
know you are on you are high speed like<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:00<\/div>\n
\n
today 180 fifth graders just you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:05<\/div>\n
\n
went out the door jumped on four school<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:07<\/div>\n
\n
buses and headed about 50 miles east of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:10<\/div>\n
\n
here you know high-intensity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:13<\/div>\n
\n
you know we had threat of thunderstorms<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:14<\/div>\n
\n
but it was a beautiful day and with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:17<\/div>\n
\n
seven learning stations that kids<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:19<\/div>\n
\n
learned everything from worm composting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:21<\/div>\n
\n
to making fruit and vegetable smoothies<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:24<\/div>\n
\n
and so on so the the disadvantage is you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:28<\/div>\n
\n
know it’s high-energy it’s a lot of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:29<\/div>\n
\n
effort to organize and to make things<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:33<\/div>\n
\n
happen but if any of us in our audience<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:37<\/div>\n
\n
have taught before it’s kind of like<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:40<\/div>\n
\n
parenting it can be some of the most<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:42<\/div>\n
\n
grueling years of our life but it can<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:45<\/div>\n
\n
also be some of the most rewarding years<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:48<\/div>\n
\n
of our lives so I would say definitely<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:52<\/div>\n
\n
lots of lots of work but any type of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:56<\/div>\n
\n
farming if we’re farming goats or sheep<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:58<\/div>\n
\n
in this case we’re educating human<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:01<\/div>\n
\n
beings Homo sapiens so it’s it’s a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:03<\/div>\n
\n
little bit different but still it takes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:07<\/div>\n
\n
a lot of effort and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:08<\/div>\n
\n
to passion and to get into something<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:10<\/div>\n
\n
like this you really want to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:12<\/div>\n
\n
committed another disadvantage maybe as<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:15<\/div>\n
\n
a not-for-profit you are governed by a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:20<\/div>\n
\n
board of directors and those people sit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:23<\/div>\n
\n
on your board they advise you they may<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:25<\/div>\n
\n
take on certain roles maybe they help<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:28<\/div>\n
\n
you with marketing maybe to help you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:30<\/div>\n
\n
with IT maybe to help you with payroll<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:34<\/div>\n
\n
but they need to be chosen carefully and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:39<\/div>\n
\n
selectively instant in the sense that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:42<\/div>\n
\n
you want them to definitely be your<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:45<\/div>\n
\n
cheerleaders and not caused animosity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:51<\/div>\n
\n
I’ve never in my 20<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:54<\/div>\n
\n
I guess twenty four years of work here<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:57<\/div>\n
\n
at quiet Creek I’ve had wonderful<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
09:58<\/div>\n
\n
support of board members but you always<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:01<\/div>\n
\n
hear through the grapevine that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:03<\/div>\n
\n
sometimes you have a board that is not<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:06<\/div>\n
\n
supportive and they can be extremely<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:08<\/div>\n
\n
critical and cause you setbacks or fire<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:14<\/div>\n
\n
in real before fire you are fired<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:18<\/div>\n
\n
not profit boards before believe me they<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:23<\/div>\n
\n
were just doing their job oh yeah yeah<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:27<\/div>\n
\n
you’re right Annie a lot of people shy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:30<\/div>\n
\n
away from that and being such a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:33<\/div>\n
\n
Community Builder myself I find my board<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:36<\/div>\n
\n
energizes me and gives me good ideas and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:39<\/div>\n
\n
I just really helps me along the way I<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:43<\/div>\n
\n
don’t feel any imposition I feel I’m<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:47<\/div>\n
\n
autonomous to make decisions and bring<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:50<\/div>\n
\n
it to the board and they give their<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:52<\/div>\n
\n
stamp of approval so it’s worked well a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:56<\/div>\n
\n
quiet Creek it takes some grooming you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10:59<\/div>\n
\n
know we really try to give our board a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:03<\/div>\n
\n
lot of status and offer them wonderful<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:09<\/div>\n
\n
farm-to-table meals whenever we have a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:11<\/div>\n
\n
meeting to make it really enjoyable so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:14<\/div>\n
\n
you’re bribing them with food yes we are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:17<\/div>\n
\n
honoring them with what the farm is all<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:20<\/div>\n
\n
about the farm school is all about<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:22<\/div>\n
\n
so it is a nice reciprocation well in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:26<\/div>\n
\n
terms of non non-profit board status I’m<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:29<\/div>\n
\n
wondering do they do they create the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:32<\/div>\n
\n
budget and do they raise money and also<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:35<\/div>\n
\n
make their own financial contribution<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:37<\/div>\n
\n
commitment I think some board you do any<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:40<\/div>\n
\n
a quiet Creek they do not it’s a pretty<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:43<\/div>\n
\n
passive position we do all the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:47<\/div>\n
\n
fundraising we you know take care of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:51<\/div>\n
\n
writing the grant you know we keep the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:55<\/div>\n
\n
infrastructure maintained yeah they have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11:58<\/div>\n
\n
to meet with us four times a year<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
12:01<\/div>\n
\n
the third excuse me the fourth meeting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
12:03<\/div>\n
\n
isn’t only an email meeting the other<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
12:06<\/div>\n
\n
three are face to face so it’s not a lot<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
12:09<\/div>\n
\n
on their part and it gives us just kind<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
12:13<\/div>\n
\n
of a stamp of approval every quarter to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
12:17<\/div>\n
\n
hear from them right that way then you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
12:19<\/div>\n

\n
14:11<\/div>\n
\n
we as US citizens and I’m speaking for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:15<\/div>\n
\n
myself my generation you know we’ve<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:18<\/div>\n
\n
really done some damage in certain areas<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:21<\/div>\n
\n
so rusty and I are looking at building<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:23<\/div>\n
\n
relationships in some of these<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:25<\/div>\n
\n
geographic communities that could use<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:29<\/div>\n
\n
some extra help and so we haven’t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:31<\/div>\n
\n
decided exactly where that’s going to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:34<\/div>\n
\n
we’re hoping vision 2020 occurs the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:38<\/div>\n
\n
first in January so during this process<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:41<\/div>\n
\n
we’ll be looking at opportunities of how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:45<\/div>\n
\n
we can serve others somewhere across the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:47<\/div>\n
\n
world okay well I’m gonna interrupt you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
14:51<\/div>\n
\n
when the biomass hits the wind turbine<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

14:55<\/div>\n
\n

\n
14:57<\/div>\n
\n
the end of the world as we know it and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
14:59<\/div>\n
\n
thank thank God and today we’re speaking<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

15:05<\/div>\n

\n
15:08<\/div>\n
\n
Creek herb farm and school of country<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:11<\/div>\n
\n
living in Brookville Pennsylvania so and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:13<\/div>\n
\n
we’re talking about creating a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:15<\/div>\n
\n
not-for-profit entity around your farmer<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:18<\/div>\n
\n
homestead I know we’ve referred to your<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:20<\/div>\n
\n
place as a farm but I guess I would I<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:23<\/div>\n
\n
would kind of I don’t know it doesn’t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:26<\/div>\n
\n
strike me as a traditional farm in any<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:28<\/div>\n
\n
stretch of the imagination I mean you’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:30<\/div>\n
\n
not out planting corn and soybeans and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:34<\/div>\n
\n
yeah no but that’s a misnomer I mean<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:38<\/div>\n
\n
lots of us are farmers and we aren’t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:41<\/div>\n
\n
growing soybeans as a week so tell us<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:43<\/div>\n
\n
tell us a little bit about your crops<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:46<\/div>\n
\n
I mean I mean you do a lotta education<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:48<\/div>\n
\n
but I know you grow things as well yeah<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:51<\/div>\n
\n
so to educate our school groups and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:56<\/div>\n
\n
beyond<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:56<\/div>\n
\n
we have display gardens with all types<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15:59<\/div>\n
\n
of edible flowers and culinary herbs<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:02<\/div>\n
\n
medicinal herbs we have a mushroom farm<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:06<\/div>\n
\n
with shiitake and nameko lion’s mane<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:10<\/div>\n
\n
reishi maitake so all aspects as a farm<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:14<\/div>\n
\n
can be a part of the curriculum<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:17<\/div>\n
\n
my son led fifth graders today on a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:21<\/div>\n
\n
nature trail and they planted trees the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:25<\/div>\n
\n
Game Commission here in Pennsylvania<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:26<\/div>\n
\n
wants to get all different kinds of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:29<\/div>\n
\n
trees out there as feeder plants for the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:31<\/div>\n
\n
wildlife so the kids you know how better<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:34<\/div>\n
\n
to mitigate climate change than to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:36<\/div>\n
\n
out planting trees and really enjoying<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:39<\/div>\n
\n
the outdoors so we also have two high<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:43<\/div>\n
\n
tunnels where we grow a lot of hot<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:45<\/div>\n
\n
weather herbs basil lemon grass lemon<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:47<\/div>\n
\n
verbena our peppers both sweet and hot<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:51<\/div>\n
\n
all kinds of tomatoes and then all those<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:54<\/div>\n
\n
vegetables or herbs or edible flowers<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
16:58<\/div>\n
\n
they’re then brought back into the farm<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:02<\/div>\n
\n
setting as value-added products that are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:05<\/div>\n
\n
available in our shop or as as meals so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:09<\/div>\n
\n
often any of our classes people come and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:12<\/div>\n
\n
then they have a farm-to-table luncheon<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:15<\/div>\n
\n
or dinner maybe part of the curriculum<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:17<\/div>\n
\n
is to create it or maybe they go out in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:22<\/div>\n
\n
the woods and they harvest wild edible<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:24<\/div>\n
\n
mushrooms and different plants and then<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:27<\/div>\n
\n
they bring it back and I prepare it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:29<\/div>\n
\n

\n
17:32<\/div>\n
\n

\n
17:34<\/div>\n
\n
both foraging wildcrafting and then<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
cultivated in display gardens and high<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:41<\/div>\n
\n
tunnels and you’ve also integrated some<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:44<\/div>\n
\n
other interesting aspects of sustainable<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:46<\/div>\n
\n
living I know you have a straw bale<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:48<\/div>\n
\n
addition to your to your barn that’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:51<\/div>\n
\n
nice you’ve got solar array a wind<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:53<\/div>\n
\n
turbine I think it’s pretty cool The<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
17:55<\/div>\n
\n
Beehive and the in the wall of the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

shop that you have and well maybe you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
18:01<\/div>\n
\n

\n
18:03<\/div>\n
\n
of a partnership because you’re talking<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
18:05<\/div>\n
\n
about doing these different projects but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
18:07<\/div>\n
\n
the solar array was a project that we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
18:10<\/div>\n
\n
worked on together and had had a kind of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
18:13<\/div>\n
\n
a partnership and maybe we could talk a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
18:15<\/div>\n
\n
little bit about that oh yes to find you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pennsylvania Association for sustainable<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
that you are true educators in so many<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
18:42<\/div>\n
\n
areas and renewable energy solar arrays<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
18:47<\/div>\n
\n
are one of your specialties so I think<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
18:50<\/div>\n
\n
we had a connection and Anna you reached<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n
walk away with their certification they<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:24<\/div>\n
\n
can be employed or in our case as farm<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:28<\/div>\n
\n
owners home owners be able to do an<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:32<\/div>\n
\n
installation with with that knowledge<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:35<\/div>\n
\n
that you’ve given us your students yeah<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:39<\/div>\n
\n
so we’re so excited and unbelievable the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:42<\/div>\n
\n
cost has come down tremendously Jay<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:45<\/div>\n
\n
you’re gonna have to really crunch some<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:47<\/div>\n
\n
numbers for me but I’ll just make a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:48<\/div>\n
\n
comparison we we myself and one of my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:52<\/div>\n
\n
interns we wrote an energy harvest grant<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:54<\/div>\n
\n
and we able to get the funds to put in a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
19:57<\/div>\n
\n
small turbine you know 2.5 kilowatt<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:01<\/div>\n
\n
capacity and a to small arrays two point<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:04<\/div>\n
\n
six kilowatt capacity and that cost was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:10<\/div>\n
\n
high price<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:12<\/div>\n
\n
and what I want to share with you is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:14<\/div>\n
\n
what Ju helped us put in it was about a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:18<\/div>\n
\n
four point two kilowatt solar array that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:21<\/div>\n
\n
cost was about a third of the cost that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:25<\/div>\n
\n
we used this funding from the energy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:30<\/div>\n
\n
harvest grant and that was in 2009 so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:33<\/div>\n
\n
jr. you’ve seen things just drop every<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:35<\/div>\n
\n
year oh yeah yeah yeah we we put we put<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:39<\/div>\n
\n
in a 3.75 kW array at our farm in 2014<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:46<\/div>\n
\n
and just the cost of materials was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:48<\/div>\n
\n
around $12,000 and in 2018 2019 now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:53<\/div>\n
\n
we’re able to get the same material for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:56<\/div>\n
\n
in the four thousand to five thousand<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
20:58<\/div>\n
\n
dollar range so the crisis is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:01<\/div>\n
\n
dramatically lower although I’ll tell<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:03<\/div>\n
\n
quick look cute story I know after we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:06<\/div>\n
\n
installed the solar array there at your<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:07<\/div>\n
\n
place and I was staying in your little<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:09<\/div>\n
\n
straw bale cabin and that evening we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:12<\/div>\n
\n
gotten everything hooked together and I<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:14<\/div>\n
\n
think you were gone and rusty was still<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:16<\/div>\n
\n
there and it was after dark and all of a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:20<\/div>\n
\n
sudden all the electricity went off I<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:24<\/div>\n
\n
thought what did we do it was but rusty<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:31<\/div>\n
\n
was not on the driveway I was on the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:33<\/div>\n
\n
driveway and he’s looking at me going<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:34<\/div>\n
\n
what did you do then fortunately all<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:39<\/div>\n
\n
your neighbors had no power either so we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:41<\/div>\n
\n
were very my god the electricity just<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:45<\/div>\n
\n
went out what did I do wrong<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:49<\/div>\n
\n
oh yeah he makes a project happen and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:54<\/div>\n
\n
he’s totally in I mean you talk about<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
21:58<\/div>\n
\n
someone dedicated to his work anyway<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:00<\/div>\n
\n
well let me say that that one thing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:02<\/div>\n
\n
since we’re talking about not-for-profit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:04<\/div>\n
\n
is that and and we are not a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:07<\/div>\n
\n
not-for-profit although sometimes it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:09<\/div>\n
\n
might be not we’re not a profitable no<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:12<\/div>\n
\n
that’s not true but what I was going to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:13<\/div>\n
\n
say is our business model which works<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:15<\/div>\n
\n
really well with yours because what we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:18<\/div>\n
\n
did with the solar project was to say<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:21<\/div>\n
\n
alright we’re going to work with us<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:23<\/div>\n
\n
we’re going to teach this class but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:25<\/div>\n
\n
you’re gonna help us and you’re going to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:27<\/div>\n
\n
market the class and you’re going to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:28<\/div>\n
\n
host people and give us a workspace to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:32<\/div>\n
\n
teach the class and then we shared a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:33<\/div>\n
\n
portion of the revenue from the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:37<\/div>\n
\n
registration so that to me is a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:40<\/div>\n
\n
different model than how most people are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:42<\/div>\n
\n
working is different in that we were<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:44<\/div>\n
\n
able to work with you and we had the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:46<\/div>\n
\n
leeway to do it but also in return you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:48<\/div>\n
\n
worked with us as a for-profit and it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:50<\/div>\n
\n
wasn’t a grant or anything like that and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:52<\/div>\n
\n
I think that’s valuable for people in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:55<\/div>\n
\n
the future to be thinking about in any<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:57<\/div>\n
\n
kind of business setting or<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
22:58<\/div>\n
\n
not-for-profit is their businesses out<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:01<\/div>\n
\n
there like us who really want to have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:03<\/div>\n
\n
these kind of partnerships with groups<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:05<\/div>\n
\n
who are really trying to look at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:07<\/div>\n
\n
sustainability and how to get the word<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:09<\/div>\n
\n
out about living differently and that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:12<\/div>\n
\n
just is a great partnership oh<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:15<\/div>\n
\n
absolutely and if if there are any<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:18<\/div>\n
\n
businesses out there listening take this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:21<\/div>\n
\n
opportunity and run with it because Jay<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:25<\/div>\n
\n
and Annie are true professionals they<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:27<\/div>\n
\n
make things happen<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:29<\/div>\n
\n
knowledgeable I can’t say enough about<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:32<\/div>\n
\n
what you two can do actually we’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:34<\/div>\n
\n
really funny<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:35<\/div>\n
\n
that’s the checks in the mail class my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:48<\/div>\n
\n
son and my husband are not Mars a math<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:52<\/div>\n
\n
savvy you know I mean they’re both very<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:54<\/div>\n
\n
creative men I mean they have so many<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
23:57<\/div>\n
\n
gifts but Jay helped them go through the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:01<\/div>\n
\n
math I mean Jay I don’t know if you ever<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:02<\/div>\n
\n
if you were a math teacher at one time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:05<\/div>\n
\n
but you made also understandable to them<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:08<\/div>\n
\n
they both swear by it and then I know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:09<\/div>\n
\n
because it’s because I just make stuff<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:11<\/div>\n
\n
up although I do remember when they put<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:19<\/div>\n
\n
the extension on the array I was there<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:21<\/div>\n
\n
and and they couldn’t get the computer<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:24<\/div>\n
\n
in the array to talk to each other and I<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:27<\/div>\n
\n
don’t know who finally got the idea to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:28<\/div>\n
\n
call up the company who then were able<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:31<\/div>\n
\n
to like completely fix it because<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:33<\/div>\n
\n
they’re like oh we can see what you’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:35<\/div>\n
\n
doing asking directions yes asking for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:37<\/div>\n
\n
directions that’s what we kept saying<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:39<\/div>\n
\n
there was guys you know you need to ask<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:41<\/div>\n
\n
for directions then there happen no I go<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:44<\/div>\n
\n

\n
24:46<\/div>\n
\n

\n
24:49<\/div>\n
\n
about working with the Board of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:51<\/div>\n
\n
Directors but you also work with a lot<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:52<\/div>\n
\n
of volunteers and and interns you called<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:55<\/div>\n
\n
some people apprentices I don’t know if<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:57<\/div>\n
\n
that’s your term for interns are or if<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
24:59<\/div>\n
\n
that’s yeah interchangeable sure yeah so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:02<\/div>\n
\n
so what kind of challenges what kind of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:04<\/div>\n
\n
rewards have you seen in all of that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:06<\/div>\n
\n
yeah it’s always been very rewarding our<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:12<\/div>\n
\n
apprentices become part of our family<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:14<\/div>\n
\n
and I know you have the same situation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:17<\/div>\n
\n
at your farm in Ohio you know people<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:20<\/div>\n
\n
come back they want to find out what’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:24<\/div>\n
\n
going on they want to continue to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:26<\/div>\n
\n
volunteer or they stay in touch you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:28<\/div>\n
\n
and they start other farms and and they<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:30<\/div>\n
\n
just share their successes with you so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:34<\/div>\n
\n
you know working with with humans we all<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:36<\/div>\n
\n
know we all have there’s the challenge<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:42<\/div>\n
\n
Claire all those humans yeah yes as we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:47<\/div>\n
\n
know so I know I can be quirky and hard<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:50<\/div>\n
\n
to work with sometimes just like anyone<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:52<\/div>\n
\n
else so working through human dynamics<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:56<\/div>\n
\n
personal relationships can be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
25:58<\/div>\n
\n
challenging the nice thing is we don’t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:02<\/div>\n
\n
do any money exchange and so it’s room<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:06<\/div>\n
\n
and board and any education along the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:09<\/div>\n
\n
way so it’s it’s a nice model that I<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:13<\/div>\n
\n
like it may not be for everyone but I’m<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:15<\/div>\n
\n
really happy with it right with our new<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:18<\/div>\n
\n
stewards they’re they’re they’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:20<\/div>\n
\n
compensated rusty and I will step out<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:22<\/div>\n
\n
and they will step in and they will have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:25<\/div>\n
\n
a payroll I I wanted to tell you that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:28<\/div>\n
\n
this is same model that we have and we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:30<\/div>\n
\n
really believe in it because as far as<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:32<\/div>\n
\n
the interns and stuff because we’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:35<\/div>\n
\n
investing in young people and the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:38<\/div>\n
\n
reality is when when people go to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:40<\/div>\n
\n
college or university they the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:42<\/div>\n
\n
university or college doesn’t apologize<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:44<\/div>\n
\n
for charging tuition and so the fact<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:48<\/div>\n
\n
that you know you’re working for food<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:50<\/div>\n
\n
and labor and edge<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:52<\/div>\n
\n
it makes complete sense now there’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:55<\/div>\n
\n
ownership building yeah yeah and I just<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
26:59<\/div>\n
\n
did a webinar with a national group<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:02<\/div>\n
\n
where we talked about internships and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:04<\/div>\n
\n
they sent in their questions ahead of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:06<\/div>\n
\n
time and every question was about<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:08<\/div>\n
\n
compensation and Liability and I said<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:11<\/div>\n
\n
look this isn’t the work this isn’t the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:13<\/div>\n
\n
webinar for that we’re going to talk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:14<\/div>\n
\n
about how you actually run a really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:16<\/div>\n
\n
great internship program where they’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:19<\/div>\n
\n
not your slaves and so I didn’t our<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:22<\/div>\n
\n
family yeah that’s right that it’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:24<\/div>\n
\n
really about education and sharing and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
27:27<\/div>\n
\n
partnership and everything so anyway so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
