I always said if I could figure out a way to grow Kleenex and toilet paper on trees, we could pull the plug on society.
-
I am libertarian, and Americans generally are, more than, say, Canadians and Australians.
-
The industrial food system is so cruel and so horrific in its treatment of animals. It never asks the question: 'Should a pig be allowed to express its pig-ness?'
-
I'm a Christian-libertarian-environmentalist-capitalist-lunatic. It's a humorous way for me to describe that I'm not stereotypical.
-
'Organic' doesn't mean what people think it means.

The butcher, baker, and candlestick maker have been around a lot longer than supermarkets and Wal-Mart.
-
Our biggest fear is that 'Food, Inc.' will move heavy-handed food-safety regulations forward.

We've created a tenfold core value protocol to make sure that we don't fall into an 'empire' attitude.

Know you food, know your farmers, and know your kitchen. Start building up your larder! We don't even use that term any more.
-
We can't begin to feed ourselves with a local-centric system if we lock up land in royal manor models.
-
Oh, my goodness, when we came to the farm in 1961, I mean, it wouldn't even support one salary.
-
New Zealand has incredible global recognition for grass-fed livestock.
-
Know you food, know your farmers, and know your kitchen.
-
We will never sell or have an IPO. What that does is suddenly flushes you with cash. It makes you now work for a group of stockholders, who, again, put pressure and temptations on your true-blueness.
-
If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing poorly first.
-
We move the cows every day to a new spot which allows the grass time to recuperate and go through its what I call 'the teenage growth spurt.'
