What's the importance of healthy soil?

Eating local nutrient rich foods is not only supporting our body but the farms, earth and animals that are living here. Have you ever just put your hands or feet into the earth and felt the energy?

Our land is vital to the success of our food, oxygen, animal life and so on. I remember as a kid, my dad used to tell me rub some dirt on it! What I have now realized is that is true. Think of the energy that is being released from the ground? What about the healing powers? nutrients ? the life forms?

In chatting with one of my favorite farms Seven Sons I learned that there is more life below ground that above it! How cool is that?

One of my favorite foods of the season. TOMATOES! Not just any tomato, but the tomatoes that have come to fruition from the seeds I sowed several months ago. I find it to be very fulfilling taking care of the earth, and seeds I have been given. As most already know, growing your own tomatoes or any fruit / vegetable is much tastier and fresher than buying from the grocery store.
