The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).
To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:

We believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.
If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Fans!

Recently found this. Talking to my older kids about this.
Thanks very much for what you do and the info you put out!! It's very educational and fundamentally important. And I'll add now that I just finished it, there is so much in here that can be replicated and acted upon in various local communities. So thank you so much for putting this info out there!
Just finished this. It blew my mind! I will be watching it many times and taking notes. This provides answers to some of my questions and things I've been thinking about. 😊 Thank you so much!!
I agree, thoughts without actions, it's not going to happen!
Re: Scale at 45:30 time mark.
In reference to scale .
The magic number seems to be 400 or less.
A test was done on the elementary school secretaries to see how many children's names they could remember.
At all the best elementary schools, the student population was less than 400. And, the school secretary could remember every child's name on sight of that youngster.
The Amish tend to start a new community if their local community grows to about 400. After that number, it starts getting hard to remember everyone's name...when you "see" that person.
Some Native American tribes form another band of families when the local band grew to about 400. Why? Because it became hard to remember the history of an individual person's family.
Historically, socially, culturally, it doesn't seem to make much difference.
There is something about that upper limit of 400 people, and it is time to quit growing and simply replicate.
Interesting! Thank you for sharing.
