Everett Family Farm Research Paper
To me, Everett Family Farms and Love Apple Farm are distinctly different. Everett is bigger and feels more "commercialized" while Love Apple is small but lovely. If I'm to compare these two to the farms we know, I'd say Everett is similar to CASFS but Love Apple is more like Chadwick garden. Everett is an organic farm. In Everett Family Farms, there were many crops we are familiar with, such as garlics, onions and strawberries. On the pricing board of the farm stand, it also shows that the farms have carrots, spinach, lettuce, kale, and chard. They also raise chickens in the farm and sell eggs, which I believe are pasture-raised. The farm manager, Emily, showed us around the beautiful farm to have a good at the cherry blossom intercropping, …show more content…
But in Love Apple, the crops are mainly sold to some restaurants. Crop choice play a key role in sustainable agricultural operations, and I think it also remain a challenge in their operations. One may be willing to try many new foods, but for a daily consumption, a consumer will only choose from a limited variety of vegetables and fruits. Can Love Apple sell ice lettuce in their farm store. I doubt that. Moreover, organic farming and biodynamics farming are labor-intensive. Especially for biodynamics farming, as Cynthia mentioned, many rules are stricter than organic farming. I think these are really challenging to their farms. Such operations are beneficial to the environment, and the community. They not only increase soil health and biodiversity, but also provide various fruits and vegetables to people. However, we don't know that if these foods are available to all or just to certain classes. Are these organic foods affordable for most people? Besides, I would love to know more about their labor conditions. Organic farming and biodynamics farming require lots of work. Do they get enough breaks and enough pay? How are the ethnic compositions like in these two

    Mexico inspired Western cattle ranching. The first cattle in the Americas came from Spain, there were so many cattle that ranching became a very good business for Californios, Tejanos and the Americans who learned from the Mexicans. The cattle from Spain were very thin and their horns were long and broad. Instead of the dairy products produced by Eastern farms, the Western ranches produced things like meat and hides. Rancheros overlooked their herds and fields while vaqueros were hired to take care of the cattle. One of the vaqueros most important jobs was branding, which was when they used a hot iron to burn a mark into the cow’s skin. Branding was necessary to tell people’s cows apart because different owners let their cows out in the same…

    In the early 1900’s tractors were not yet as advanced as they are today. Oxen pulled the first plows that cut into the prairie sod. They were very inexpensive, making it a good option for a farmer that didn’t have a lot of money. However, oxen were often stubborn and unreliable. As soon as farmers could afford to they replaced their oxen with horses. Although horses were more expensive they were much more obedient than the oxen were. Horses than became the main source of power for most Saskatchewan farmers for decades. The number of horses on Saskatchewan farms grew from 84,000 in 1905 to 507,000 in 1911 and by 1921 there were about 1,169,000 horses on Saskatchewan farms.…

    Jasper F. Cropsey is one of the famous American landscape painters of the second generation of the Hudson River School during the 19th century. In his work American Harvesting (1851) that is now kept in the IU art museum, he presents the American landscape as an uncorrupted and prosperous Eden, where human beings live there effortlessly as masters of nature. The most recognizable stylistic feature in his work would be the balance of wilderness and civilization, which is accomplished through the use of light and color. He depicts the landscape in a massive scale, and also plays with large and small forms using proportion.…

    Pollan talks about most of the organic food we consume today is produced from the so-called “industrial organic” farms, which belong firmly to the industrial food chain rather than the ideal organic food chain. First, the reality of “organic food” chain is largely inaccurately reported.…

    In the book Farmers and Fishermen: Two Centuries of Work In Essex County, Massachusetts, 1630–1850, Daniel Vickers explores the lives of both farmers and fisherman, both very popular professions in New England during the early colonial period. By telling two separate stories of the farmers and fisherman of the region, specifically telling the story of Essex County, Massachusetts, Vickers is able to bridge the gap of knowledge through primary source material left behind by settlers in the region as well as government documents, like the Massachusetts Tax Valuation List of 1771 and what later historians inferred. The conclusions that he comes to, that in the early period of colonization the fishing and farming communities are tightly linked together…

    Originally called “Maketewa” by Native Americans, Mill Creek is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. It flows roughly 28 miles, starting at Liberty Township and flowing through 34 other communities and is a tributary to the Ohio River. The origins of mill creek dates back to the late 1700s, around 1787. Settlers used Mill Creek to transport goods and other items. Mill Creek has been abused for over 2 centuries. By 1810, major factories opened up along mill creek and its tributaries and dumped their chemical waste into the creek, causing mass pollution. P&G also opened a factory along the Mill Creek, selling soap that was “light enough to float on water”. Slaughterhouses became an issue as well; they dumped the pig remains into the water. All the water flows down Mill Creek, then to the Ohio River and so on. Early pollution lead to difficulties down the line. It hurt wildlife, plants and even humans. It could make humans and animals sick if they were to drink the water. The Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act were passed in 1972. These acts helped stop a lot of pollution from going into the Mill Creek. Although it stopped some of the pollution from getting into the…

    "A full vindication of measures of Congress" is one of Alexander Hamilton's first published letters, in response to the letter of " A Westchester Farmer", which accuses the actions of the first Continental Congress. Hamilton starts the letter with defending decisions and actions of the Congress, and disproving the "Farmer's" accusations by logically and precisely responding to his main points, with facts and examples. Then, he proves how the Congress has recommended the only effective way to secure Colonial security and establish a solid future, mainly by boycotting all trades with the British empire and gaining independence. Hamilton then, addresses the farmers of New York directly and talks them…

    The following chapter delves into the principles of organic farming and their various implementations in modern America. Pollan shows that as organic food has grown in popularity, its producers have adopted many of the methods of industrial agriculture, while losing sight of the organic movement's anti-industrial roots. A meal prepared from ingredients purchased at Whole Foods represents this food chain at the table. As a study in contrast, Pollan visits a small-scale organic farm, where natural conditions are adhered to as closely as possible, very few artificial inputs are used, and waste products are recycled back into the system. He then prepares a meal using only local produce from small-scale organic farmers.…

    The farmer’s market was situated in the campus of Drexel University. The neighborhood was very urbanized, surrounded by magnificent building, very alive, but also a little bit of green with beautiful flower, bushes, and trees. Being in a college campus it was full of students, teachers, college faculty, and visitors. The streets were very crowded too. The farmers market is easily reachable because of the availability of an efficient public and private transportation facilities. This farmer’s market is practically small with not really variety to choose from. This is not a certified organic farmer’s market so they can’t label their product as organic. They said the process of getting certified is way too long, so it’s not worth it. They had potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, garlic, peach tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, apples, and greens. They really enjoy…
