Organic farming appealed to me because it involved searching for and discovering nature's pathways, as opposed to the formulaic approach of chemical farming. The appeal of organic farming is boundless; this mountain has no top, this river has no end.

About This Quote

Organic farming appeals to me because it involves searching for and discovering nature's pathways, as opposed to the formulaic approach of chemical farming. The appeal of organic farming is boundless; this mountain has no top, this river has no end. In a world where people often seem caught up in formulas, I find it refreshing to be reminded that life is a series of options and choices, each with its own path. It’s been said that those who seek the way have their way made for them.
