I provide acupuncture and Reiki both in person and remotely. I offer various one-on-one and group containers. If you’d like to book a session here with me in Gainesville I do a sliding scale of $85 – $125.
I absolutely love seeing and nurturing the divinity within each person. I believe we come to this earth with spiritual and creative gifts that we are meant to embody and share. I’m passionate about helping people transmute emotional blocks into their most powerful offerings to change the world.
I was trained in Reiki 6 years ago. I learned from three different teachers, each one offered something unique and powerful to me. I graduated from The Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in August 2023 and have been offering acupuncture in Gainesville since April 2024.

flower, Reproductive portion of any flowering plant (angiosperm). Popularly, the term applies especially when part or all of the reproductive structure is distinctive in colour and form. Flowers present a multitude of combinations of colour, size, form, and anatomical arrangement. In some plants, individual flowers are very small and are borne in a distinctive cluster (inflorescence). Each flower consists of a floral axis that bears the essential organs of reproduction (male stamens and/or female pistils) and usually accessory organs (sepals and petals); the latter may serve both to attract pollinating insects (seepollination) and to protect the essential organs. Flower parts are arrayed usually in whorls but sometimes spirally. Four distinct whorls are common: the outer calyx (sepals), the corolla (petals), the androecium (stamens), and, in the centre, the gynoecium (pistils). The sepals are usually greenish and often resemble reduced leaves; the petals are usually colourful and showy. Pollen is produced in the stamens. A pollen-receptive stigma rests atop each pistil. The pistil, made up of one or more carpels, encloses an ovary that contains the ovules, or potential seeds. After fertilization the ovary enlarges to form the fruit. Flowers have been symbols of beauty in most civilizations of the world, and flower giving is still among the most popular of social amenities.

| Our Story |
The Family Garden has been in operation since 2007. Founded by Jordan Brown and his wife Diwa, the farm was initially located in Bell, Florida. In 2015 they relocated to east Gainesville, and bought the 20-acre parcel that we currently grow on. We grow all our fruits and vegetables using organic methods, selling both wholesale to local restaurants and businesses in North Florida, and direct to consumers at the Alachua County Farmers Market. The farm also runs a small CSA program. |
| Onsite Services | u-pick |
| Visitation |
The Family Garden, or TFG, grows with dignity and respect for the land and the people who care for your food. The amazing thing about organic farming is that it doesn’t only benefit the farmer and the consumer, but also the the land and the people who tend to it. That’s why every season we strive to use the most sustainable and mindful practices possible. Not only does this produce the best food, but it also strengthens our connection to the land and enriches our lives. We’re committed to demonstrating the value of this connection, and the joy that it can bring to the entire community!

Within a few miles of here is a food forest stewarded by Craig, AKA Florida Fruit Geek.
The food forest was an orange orchard, comprised of grafted trees. The base of the trees were sour oranges, so when a hard frost killed back the grafted tops, the sour orange base started shoots.
Craig’s sour oranges are absolutely electric. For cautious eaters, I recommend them to be used as a salad dressing.
Craig runs a nursery from which you can order online.

Raspberries, watermelons and tomatoes fruiting in November
Anti-mining protests that have roiled Panama for the last two weeks turned deadly on Tuesday when a man allegedly shot and killed two demonstrators, according to police.
A chilling video posted by bystanders on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed a disheveled elderly man apparently frustrated with the logjam trying to force the protestors to remove a barrier blocking the Pan American highway about 50 miles south of the capital, before pulling out a pistol and opening fire. Panama’s National Police later said they arrested the suspected gunman at the scene of the shooting.
The unusual scene of violence is the latest flashpoint in some of the largest protests to hit the Central American nation since Panamanians flooded the streets en masse to demonstrate against the dictatorship of Manuel Noriega in the 1980s.
For weeks, tens of thousands of protestors have vented their fury at a controversial mining contract given to Minera Panama, the local subsidiary of a Canadian mining company, to extract copper, a key component in electric car batteries.
The contract allows Canada’s First Quantum Minerals to restart an open-pit copper mine surrounded by rain forest for the next 20 years, with the possibility of extending for another 20 years.
Environmentalists say the mine could contaminate drinking water and devastate tracts of the 32,000 acres the company negotiated use of, in exchange for yearly payments of $375 million.
Panama’s government has promised, however, that the mine will bring thousands of jobs in addition to the badly needed revenue. First Quantum Minerals did not respond to CNN’s request for comment on the protests.
Opposition to the mine has united environmentalists, indigenous groups and teachers’ and construction unions who see allegations of backroom dealings between the government and the mining company as further evidence of widespread official corruption.
The protestors accuse the government of selling off the nation’s natural resources at the same moment many Panamanians have been hit with the costs of rising inflation and are feeling the impacts of climate change.
“Panamanians are suffering from lack of water, suffering from droughts, principally in the central provinces, animals that die, harvests that don’t happen,” environmental activist Martita Cornejo told CNN en Español.
“The government did not guage the opposition from Panamanian society to a mining contract.”
But former US ambassador to Panama John Feeley said while much of the outrage is real, the new contract announcement has also presented an opportunity for some groups to try to force their own concessions and win sweetheart deals from the government.
“This is the horrible thing about Panama: Even when you protest corruption, you are probably facilitating it as well,” he said.
Weeks of road blocks set up by protesters have shut down the country, preventing farmers from bringing crops to market and sequestering Panamanians in their homes. According to Panama’s association of company executives, the standstill inflicts $80 million in daily losses to local businesses. Celebrations to mark Panama’s independence from Colombia in 1903 were also widely cancelled last week.
Panama’s President Laurentino Cortizo has defended the mining deal after its announcement on October 20, saying the agreement would create jobs and revenue for Panama.
The mine had provided a rare economic bright spot for Panama where tourism has been slow to recover from the pandemic and the drought has reduced traffic though the Panama Canal, which is expected to a cause a drop of revenue of $200 million in 2024.
“We made the right decision, not the easiest one,” Cortizo said. “After a difficult and complicated negotiation for more than two years, a contract was agreed in 2023 between the company Minera Panama and the Panamanian State, which guarantees much better terms and conditions for the country.”
But as the protests have dragged on, Panama’s government has offered concessions that have done little to deflate the crisis: Last week, congress passed a moratorium on all future metal mining and Cortizo called for a nationwide referendum in December on the controversial project.
In 2017, Panama’s Supreme Court declared another contract to operate the copper mine as unconstitutional, forcing the mining company and government to renegotiate the deal.
Opponents now say they are hopeful that an announcement by Panama’s Supreme Court this week that it is examining the legality of the contract could once again kill the deal.
Whatever the resolution to the crisis, it may be too late to repair the damage done to Panama’s reputation in the region as a rare bastion of political and economic stability.

An organizer who advocated for the release of these chickens has been convicted of a felony. The jury was not allowed to see footage of animal suffering.
DXE message, 11/2/23:
“After 6 days of deliberation, the jury has found animal rescuer Wayne Hsiung GUILTY on three of the four charges in the #SonomaRescueTrial. This includes felony conspiracy and misdemeanor trespass at Sunrise Farms and misdemeanor trespass at Reichardt Duck Farm. The jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on the felony conspiracy charge from the Reichardt action, resulting in a “hung jury” mistrial on that charge.
Wayne was cuffed and immediately taken into custody. He has a sentencing hearing set for November 30th. He will be in jail until then, without bail. We will be mobilizing at the sentencing hearing to support Wayne and defend the #RightToRescue. Please join us on November 30th in Santa Rosa.
Help us tell the world about this breaking news by sharing our posts on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
Wayne will be appealing this conviction, and this means he has the chance to establish case law in the appellate court. Winning an appeal would not only vindicate his actions but also set a legal precedent that would impact future animal rescue cases.
The mass open rescues at Sunrise Farms and Reichardt Duck Farm that led to this trial were last-resort efforts to aid animals after the authorities ignored repeated reports showing clear evidence of criminal animal cruelty. If the jury had been allowed to see the full extent of suffering at these factory farms, they might have understood that the intent of our actions was not to commit a crime but simply to aid severely neglected animals. This conviction won’t stop us from taking action we know is legally and morally right to aid suffering animals.
In fact, immediately after the verdict, DxE activists went straight from the courtroom to the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office to report new footage from Sunrise Farms and Reichardt that shows sick, injured animals are still languishing at these facilities.
While the District Attorney has been wasting taxpayer money putting animal rescue on trial for the past seven weeks, DxE investigators have been busy documenting violations of animal cruelty laws and rescuing individuals in need of emergency medical care.
Today, we are sharing the stories of two of the animals we’ve saved in the past several weeks, Elsie and River, and we are demanding that the Sonoma County District Attorney finally address the rampant criminal activity at Sunrise and Reichardt. You can help by sharing our video about these breaking rescues on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. And stay tuned for more ways you can support.

Despite the vastness of this land and the moral support of its staff, I and other residents have been forbidden from gardening out on the land. Therefore, all the human residents & their pets are perpetually dependent on deliveries of food grown far away, in unknown conditions.
This 88 year old property, consisting of 112 acres of land, communal facilities, and private dwellings inhabited by ~60 people is being sold by the inheritor for $32.8m.
From this confinement, I have been slowly building a launch for BYTE: BackYard-to-Table Experiences, a decentralized local food movement that uses immediately available resources. However, I can only demonstrate this as much is immediately available to me.
As my baby deeply sleeps after breastfeeding, I slide out from under her and prepare myself a salad.
This salad comprises entirely of organic produce grown in of California, which I acquired almost entirely from a local farmers market.
Torn dino kale, from Castro Farms, is used to pick up noodles made of zucchini (zoodles), from Bounty of the Valley Farm, with Heirloom Organic tomatoes, Castro fennel, Country Rhodes lemon & avocado.

This is a call to open borders for civilians to connect and build community that can break walls and unite.
Walls have fallen before and they will fall again.
Bring your freshest food made from local produce, or whatever is available!
Demolition tools may be of assistance.
Gatherings on each side of the wall will need to approach with caution until contact can be made. If there are better locations along the wall, share them!

Native to SE Asia
Avocado
Subtropical, usually grown in California and Mexico
Eugene is in USDA hardiness zone 6.
Jackfruit
Uncommon tropical
Approximate location, posted in the California Tropical Fruit Growers FB group.
Tree age: “my tree is a little over 7 years. I constantly prune to make sure most of its energy goes into growing large and consistent sweet fruit. It is about 9 feet high right now.”
Planting distance, fertilization, temperature: “just made sure to add plenty of compost close to a foot of it. It helps to raise the temperature a few degrees. It insulates the roots. Also I heavily plant so many of the trees help insulate one another and create a canopy over each other. Inside my garden it is a several degrees warmer since it becomes insulated with all green vegetation. Highly recommend to look how tropical trees grow in their native environment. All crowded”
Pruning: “I do cut the top to help manage the height but most importantly to help the tree focus it’s energy on producing larger and tastier fruit. I have not cut it back to 6 ft. I would imagine it would be ok since most of the fruit is produced on the main large trunks”
From the website:
“Earth Farm 9 is a vegan farm, an edible landscaping service, and an educational platform located in Southwest Florida. We wish to see all humans having an abundance of nutrient dense foods, sustainable living environments, and empowering educational systems. It is our mission to introduce as many people as possible to foods that are not found in standard grocery stores, to physically install systems across the planet that will feed many generations of humans, and to openly share our wisdom through www.earthfarm9.com, our social media platforms, physical publications, & live classes.
We promise to do the best we can at everything we do.
We aim to offer the same quality of service and products that we expect to receive from others. We wish to leave this world a cleaner, yummier, and more colorful place than the way it was when we came here.
Through diligent work and perseverance, we will succeed in our mission. We are not affiliated with any particular religion. We are students of life who want to see all humans live freely, live peacefully, and thrive!”
It’s time to rain fruit on those recovering from, and incurring, loss.
The gut-brain relationship is important to acknowledge:
Merely filling one’s belly with dry or rehydrated rations, regardless of whether they take the form of nostalgic cultural foods, is not sufficient for stabilizing the gut-brain that underlies our capacity for individual thought and achieving peaceful resolutions.
We need fresh produce to feel well and living.
To help us believe in our capacity for imminent peace, we need to experience a good, healthy model of living that resonates with our capacity to live with the land.
I urge:
Meditation and yoga have profound impacts on our capacity to fathom peace, but the durability of their effects depends on our gut feelings.

Do you have a lush garden that has space for more fruit trees?
If so, I have some seedling fruit trees for you:
Sprouting tray seedlings will need transplanting, for which I have many containers and ample rich soil.
Plus purple & pink petunias
BONUS: send an offer for sprouting trays or this little greenhouse + the irrigation that comes with it~ works great at growing tropicals in part-sun areas.
ABOUT: I started these seedlings from epically delicious fruits in a mix of local soils, compost, and biochar.

Notice there was no security guards and plenty of high-quality items not locked up in a part of Oakland that is kinda rich, notice that Oakland got the cops running around like chickens with their heads cut off, i would not expect this Corportation to remain open much longer due to the corporation having to file for bankruptcy

From Wikipedia:
The first ever expedition to reach the Geographic South Pole was led by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. He and four others arrived at the pole on 14 December 1911,[n 1] five weeks ahead of a British party led by Robert Falcon Scott as part of the Terra Nova Expedition. Amundsen and his team returned safely to their base, and later heard that Scott and his four companions had died on their return journey.
My grandmother says that I am related to one of his expedition members who intermarried with the Amundsen family.

Made national headlines for being the most shoplifting Walgreen’s in the country, most stuff is locked up even frozen foods and ice cream and can tuna, but still stuff you can hijack, I’ve heard people made unlocked items for them to put in their bags and then proceed to leave, i have had much ease to shoplifting here. no security but i have heard rumors of cop that is nearby that may make you surrender your items.
Has laid back security that mostly just stays at the front of the store, I have shoplifted with ease, I think they mostly used as scarecrows, but police station is one block away but i wouldn’t about if its under $950…
Over guarded for no reson one had two overpaid monkees bombard me for putting one Dr.Bronners bar of soap in my butt pocket, they push hard but i resisted and got with not too much difficulty, but im built like a tank.

“
By the time the early season crop is harvested, the canopy of the later season crop will begin to fill in. This is not only efficient but can help with weed management and soil health by keeping living roots in the soil and a plant canopy above the soil surface.
By planting plants with different root structures together, you can aerate the soil and allow plants to pull nutrients from different parts of the soil profile.
Adding legumes like peas, beans and clover to your garden is another great way to maximize soil health.
Some companion plants can physically support each other, reducing the need for staking or trellising. The most famous example of this is the three sisters model, which integrates corn, squash and beans.
The three sisters model first emerged in Mesoamerica and has been used by many indigenous communities including Pueblo, Mandan and Iroquois tribes for hundreds of years. This model of combining corn, beans, squash and other vegetables is still the foundation of milpa farming systems in Mesoamerica today.

Gwen avocados sold at $2.75 or 2.5 lb bags at $10/each.
I find these to be similar to GEM avocados: soft buttery and flavorful.
Wild Roots sources organic locally-grown avocado varieties from Arrowhead Farms (Watsonville), including Bacon and Pinkerton, at $4.99/lb.
Organic medium-large hass avocados are sold at $5.99/lb, or small hass at $5-6 for 6.
My favorite from this store is the Pinkerton and small hass avocados. The creaminess and flavor of these avocados are amazing!

Spreading woodchips on bare soil can supply nutrients and retain moisture to help regenerate ecosystems.
Adding woodchips to your compost can improve the smell and add carbon & nitrogen.

Burying woodchip with layers of compost and soil to make a mound-shaped garden bed is a method to increase soil fertility and growable surface area.

If you pyrolyze wood, you make charcoal.
If you add charcoal to compost, you can produce biochar, a powerful soil conditioner that helps healthy growth of diverse plants, provides drought-tolerance and remediates (heals) contaminations, such as:

Redwood is easy to start a fire with, so it is a good kindling.
However, in a fire it crackles and is smoky, so it is recommended to incorporate other forms of wood to feed the full fire.

Fire can be beneficial to gardens by producing charcoal, which can be added to compost to produce a powerful remediation agent: biochar compost.
Optimize for producing charcoal by putting your fire out by pouring water on it or covering with dirt.

Please come for as long or as little as you like. Even a quick hello is okay with no need to RSVP. Please read through our volunteer page, it’ll answer a lot of general questions that you may have. There’s always a large variety of different projects taking place at any one given time but generally, we try to fit people where they feel most empowered.
Here is a brief overview of activities available. From gardening to making soil, crafting to lite construction, tinkering to engineering.
Generally, there are four types of activities:
Ecological Light – watering, planting, trimming, spreading wood chips, working with sheep or chickens, general beautification
Ecological Heavy – habitat restoration, tree planting, turning compost

Many of these people are skilled, interested in alternative organizations, down on their luck and appreciative of donations of fresh food and water (which is in constant need).

flower, Reproductive portion of any flowering plant (angiosperm). Popularly, the term applies especially when part or all of the reproductive structure is distinctive in colour and form. Flowers present a multitude of combinations of colour, size, form, and anatomical arrangement. In some plants, individual flowers are very small and are borne in a distinctive cluster (inflorescence). Each flower consists of a floral axis that bears the essential organs of reproduction (male stamens and/or female pistils) and usually accessory organs (sepals and petals); the latter may serve both to attract pollinating insects (seepollination) and to protect the essential organs. Flower parts are arrayed usually in whorls but sometimes spirally. Four distinct whorls are common: the outer calyx (sepals), the corolla (petals), the androecium (stamens), and, in the centre, the gynoecium (pistils). The sepals are usually greenish and often resemble reduced leaves; the petals are usually colourful and showy. Pollen is produced in the stamens. A pollen-receptive stigma rests atop each pistil. The pistil, made up of one or more carpels, encloses an ovary that contains the ovules, or potential seeds. After fertilization the ovary enlarges to form the fruit. Flowers have been symbols of beauty in most civilizations of the world, and flower giving is still among the most popular of social amenities.

The Family Garden has been in operation since 2007. Founded by Jordan Brown and his wife Diwa, the farm was initially located in Bell, Florida. In 2015 they relocated to east Gainesville, and bought the 20-acre parcel that we currently grow on. We grow all our fruits and vegetables using organic methods, selling both wholesale to local restaurants and businesses in North Florida, and direct to consumers at the Alachua County Farmers Market. The farm also runs a small CSA program. |
| Onsite Services | u-pick |
| Visitation |
The Family Garden, or TFG, grows with dignity and respect for the land and the people who care for your food. The amazing thing about organic farming is that it doesn’t only benefit the farmer and the consumer, but also the the land and the people who tend to it. That’s why every season we strive to use the most sustainable and mindful practices possible. Not only does this produce the best food, but it also strengthens our connection to the land and enriches our lives. We’re committed to demonstrating the value of this connection, and the joy that it can bring to the entire community!

In the region of Apopka, a gardener has a mango in ground, breadfruit in container
Mango is generally assumed to be “too tropical.”
Here at the eco teaching farm, there are examples of lush gardens, natural fiber materials, earthen constructions and recapture technologies.
This includes:

They produce biochar here, from morning to 4

Durian
Ultra-tropical, hardly anyone tries to grow it
There are folks who struggle to grow durian in even more southern tropical climate; common belief has been that it’s the climate that’s the issue, but it seems more an issue of soil
If anyone can find this grower, check their growing practices
(This is an approximate location, apparently the tree is on Pine Island somewhere)
Considered tropical, local lore is that the region’s hard frosts would kill any of these trees before maturity
Within a few miles of here is a food forest stewarded by Craig, AKA Florida Fruit Geek.
The food forest was an orange orchard, comprised of grafted trees. The base of the trees were sour oranges, so when a hard frost killed back the grafted tops, the sour orange base started shoots.
Craig’s sour oranges are absolutely electric. For cautious eaters, I recommend them to be used as a salad dressing.
Craig runs a nursery from which you can order online.

Raspberries, watermelons and tomatoes fruiting in November
Anti-mining protests that have roiled Panama for the last two weeks turned deadly on Tuesday when a man allegedly shot and killed two demonstrators, according to police.
A chilling video posted by bystanders on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed a disheveled elderly man apparently frustrated with the logjam trying to force the protestors to remove a barrier blocking the Pan American highway about 50 miles south of the capital, before pulling out a pistol and opening fire. Panama’s National Police later said they arrested the suspected gunman at the scene of the shooting.
The unusual scene of violence is the latest flashpoint in some of the largest protests to hit the Central American nation since Panamanians flooded the streets en masse to demonstrate against the dictatorship of Manuel Noriega in the 1980s.
For weeks, tens of thousands of protestors have vented their fury at a controversial mining contract given to Minera Panama, the local subsidiary of a Canadian mining company, to extract copper, a key component in electric car batteries.
The contract allows Canada’s First Quantum Minerals to restart an open-pit copper mine surrounded by rain forest for the next 20 years, with the possibility of extending for another 20 years.
Environmentalists say the mine could contaminate drinking water and devastate tracts of the 32,000 acres the company negotiated use of, in exchange for yearly payments of $375 million.
Panama’s government has promised, however, that the mine will bring thousands of jobs in addition to the badly needed revenue. First Quantum Minerals did not respond to CNN’s request for comment on the protests.
Opposition to the mine has united environmentalists, indigenous groups and teachers’ and construction unions who see allegations of backroom dealings between the government and the mining company as further evidence of widespread official corruption.
The protestors accuse the government of selling off the nation’s natural resources at the same moment many Panamanians have been hit with the costs of rising inflation and are feeling the impacts of climate change.
“Panamanians are suffering from lack of water, suffering from droughts, principally in the central provinces, animals that die, harvests that don’t happen,” environmental activist Martita Cornejo told CNN en Español.
“The government did not guage the opposition from Panamanian society to a mining contract.”
But former US ambassador to Panama John Feeley said while much of the outrage is real, the new contract announcement has also presented an opportunity for some groups to try to force their own concessions and win sweetheart deals from the government.
“This is the horrible thing about Panama: Even when you protest corruption, you are probably facilitating it as well,” he said.
Weeks of road blocks set up by protesters have shut down the country, preventing farmers from bringing crops to market and sequestering Panamanians in their homes. According to Panama’s association of company executives, the standstill inflicts $80 million in daily losses to local businesses. Celebrations to mark Panama’s independence from Colombia in 1903 were also widely cancelled last week.
Panama’s President Laurentino Cortizo has defended the mining deal after its announcement on October 20, saying the agreement would create jobs and revenue for Panama.
The mine had provided a rare economic bright spot for Panama where tourism has been slow to recover from the pandemic and the drought has reduced traffic though the Panama Canal, which is expected to a cause a drop of revenue of $200 million in 2024.
“We made the right decision, not the easiest one,” Cortizo said. “After a difficult and complicated negotiation for more than two years, a contract was agreed in 2023 between the company Minera Panama and the Panamanian State, which guarantees much better terms and conditions for the country.”
But as the protests have dragged on, Panama’s government has offered concessions that have done little to deflate the crisis: Last week, congress passed a moratorium on all future metal mining and Cortizo called for a nationwide referendum in December on the controversial project.
In 2017, Panama’s Supreme Court declared another contract to operate the copper mine as unconstitutional, forcing the mining company and government to renegotiate the deal.
Opponents now say they are hopeful that an announcement by Panama’s Supreme Court this week that it is examining the legality of the contract could once again kill the deal.
Whatever the resolution to the crisis, it may be too late to repair the damage done to Panama’s reputation in the region as a rare bastion of political and economic stability.

An organizer who advocated for the release of these chickens has been convicted of a felony. The jury was not allowed to see footage of animal suffering.
DXE message, 11/2/23:
“After 6 days of deliberation, the jury has found animal rescuer Wayne Hsiung GUILTY on three of the four charges in the #SonomaRescueTrial. This includes felony conspiracy and misdemeanor trespass at Sunrise Farms and misdemeanor trespass at Reichardt Duck Farm. The jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on the felony conspiracy charge from the Reichardt action, resulting in a “hung jury” mistrial on that charge.
Wayne was cuffed and immediately taken into custody. He has a sentencing hearing set for November 30th. He will be in jail until then, without bail. We will be mobilizing at the sentencing hearing to support Wayne and defend the #RightToRescue. Please join us on November 30th in Santa Rosa.
Help us tell the world about this breaking news by sharing our posts on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
Wayne will be appealing this conviction, and this means he has the chance to establish case law in the appellate court. Winning an appeal would not only vindicate his actions but also set a legal precedent that would impact future animal rescue cases.
The mass open rescues at Sunrise Farms and Reichardt Duck Farm that led to this trial were last-resort efforts to aid animals after the authorities ignored repeated reports showing clear evidence of criminal animal cruelty. If the jury had been allowed to see the full extent of suffering at these factory farms, they might have understood that the intent of our actions was not to commit a crime but simply to aid severely neglected animals. This conviction won’t stop us from taking action we know is legally and morally right to aid suffering animals.
In fact, immediately after the verdict, DxE activists went straight from the courtroom to the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office to report new footage from Sunrise Farms and Reichardt that shows sick, injured animals are still languishing at these facilities.
While the District Attorney has been wasting taxpayer money putting animal rescue on trial for the past seven weeks, DxE investigators have been busy documenting violations of animal cruelty laws and rescuing individuals in need of emergency medical care.
Today, we are sharing the stories of two of the animals we’ve saved in the past several weeks, Elsie and River, and we are demanding that the Sonoma County District Attorney finally address the rampant criminal activity at Sunrise and Reichardt. You can help by sharing our video about these breaking rescues on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. And stay tuned for more ways you can support.

Tree age: “my tree is a little over 7 years. I constantly prune to make sure most of its energy goes into growing large and consistent sweet fruit. It is about 9 feet high right now.”
Planting distance, fertilization, temperature: “just made sure to add plenty of compost close to a foot of it. It helps to raise the temperature a few degrees. It insulates the roots. Also I heavily plant so many of the trees help insulate one another and create a canopy over each other. Inside my garden it is a several degrees warmer since it becomes insulated with all green vegetation. Highly recommend to look how tropical trees grow in their native environment. All crowded”
Pruning: “I do cut the top to help manage the height but most importantly to help the tree focus it’s energy on producing larger and tastier fruit. I have not cut it back to 6 ft. I would imagine it would be ok since most of the fruit is produced on the main large trunks”

The gut-brain relationship is important to acknowledge:
Merely filling one’s belly with dry or rehydrated rations, regardless of whether they take the form of nostalgic cultural foods, is not sufficient for stabilizing the gut-brain that underlies our capacity for individual thought and achieving peaceful resolutions.
We need fresh produce to feel well and living.
To help us believe in our capacity for imminent peace, we need to experience a good, healthy model of living that resonates with our capacity to live with the land.
I urge:
Meditation and yoga have profound impacts on our capacity to fathom peace, but the durability of their effects depends on our gut feelings.

From Wikipedia:
The first ever expedition to reach the Geographic South Pole was led by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. He and four others arrived at the pole on 14 December 1911,[n 1] five weeks ahead of a British party led by Robert Falcon Scott as part of the Terra Nova Expedition. Amundsen and his team returned safely to their base, and later heard that Scott and his four companions had died on their return journey.
My grandmother says that I am related to one of his expedition members who intermarried with the Amundsen family.

By the time the early season crop is harvested, the canopy of the later season crop will begin to fill in. This is not only efficient but can help with weed management and soil health by keeping living roots in the soil and a plant canopy above the soil surface.
By planting plants with different root structures together, you can aerate the soil and allow plants to pull nutrients from different parts of the soil profile.
Adding legumes like peas, beans and clover to your garden is another great way to maximize soil health.
Some companion plants can physically support each other, reducing the need for staking or trellising. The most famous example of this is the three sisters model, which integrates corn, squash and beans.
The three sisters model first emerged in Mesoamerica and has been used by many indigenous communities including Pueblo, Mandan and Iroquois tribes for hundreds of years. This model of combining corn, beans, squash and other vegetables is still the foundation of milpa farming systems in Mesoamerica today.
