This idiot Indra is just promoting his own prejudices against the government of India and has Zero Ground level reality. In few days, we have election result. I am sure this fellow will now show his face anywhere after results, bcoz ppl of India will vote for BJP. His propaganda will go in dustbin. Wait and watch.

😊

50 years ago. Is this about urban agriculture and city farming before it is now known?

Loved what Indra shared

🤦 Promo SM

Great discussion.

10 years later, the grocery store price has sky rocket 🚀 making the average Joe broke and it'll keep rise if nothing is done.

Love this interview...love you both! I read The Farmer's Wife and enjoyed it very much! I'm a homesteading woman in West Virginia and I relate very much to Helen's words. I oversee our home and take great pride...feel a great responsibility for my homemaking tasks. While I spear-headed our lifestyle, my family is totally into it! We raise poultry for meat and eggs, grow huge gardens, cook from scratch, homeschool, and use herbal medicine. We love knowing the skills, learning every day, eating wholesome/homemade foods, and all the rest. Thank you, Helen, for giving voice to the "all-in" homemaker!

British student here! I grew up with family dinners being near on daily, and they are some of my most treasured memories. Now I’m at uni, I frequently make dinner for my friends and get them all around my table for good food and good company.

This interview is so fantastic ! Bravo!!!

Thanks so much to Nick, Helen, and The Berry Center. The particulars of this good conversation about a book, a friendship, a farm, and food remind me of Wendell's thought from long ago that "A community is the mental and spiritual condition of knowing that the place is shared, and that the people who share the place define and limit the possibilities of each other's lives." May good work of all kinds flourish.

I stopped in Carmichaels on a whim. A night that required a scarf in early 2019. A reading was about to happen, so I stayed, and Ed mentioned Henry County. I told him thats where I was from, and that little piece of common ground gave us permission to chat like we were cousins. He rented a house from Wendell for a time, a house I've passed thousands of times. Ed, Wendell, and Harlan all living right here near me feels like permission to chase this writing thing. Ed has been gone 2 years today.

This is such great, vital work. Thank you for sharing it, Virginia. I am a deep admirer of Wendell's writing and am so grateful that the Berry Center is continuing this work. I have been thinking warmly of the Great Books program that my mother helped to lead when I was young, which I loved. Now my daughter is 11 and I want to do the same for her. But I love the agrarian focus of ALL. I'm inspired to see what we can do here in Racine County, WI that takes a similar form. We live in the city and farm honeybees. Rural or urban, we all need rich stories born of common work that hold our communities together, don't we?

What a way to end. 👌🏾👏🏾

Tobacco turned out to be a very bad thing! Is it because of conscience that they are discontinuing it? Many farmers are also discontinuing animal slaughter products.

Read his essay , The Hidden Wound . About racism , history and the story white families tell themselves to make themselves feel better about using enslaved labor

Such a rich conversation .

Wendell Berry, prophet of America, giving voice to the needs and spirit of our country. He should be required reading in high schools and colleges.

I wish I could sit across the table from these two with a slice of pie and hours of their stories. Thank you for the video and for the focus on rural America.

A fine Kentucky writer and a true gentleman.

Thank you.

Thank you for recording and sharing this day. Warmest wishes from Alberta!

Thank you.

Here is a plan, fire all climate nut jobs and drill for oil.

Fantastic conversation - thank you. Envisioning how a similar system could exist in Illinois/Iowa.

This is beautiful.

Thank you for sharing this. 😊

This is so poignant. Brings my mother to mind, who was raised on a farm. In her oral history, she discussed hog killing.

Love your passion and describe how important it is to have the right culture to farm and the fact you have a book store and program to support the culture of your philosophy is wonderful. I have family in Bardstown Ky and I am not sure if they know about the Berry Center. I will have to tell them about this. Wow. Thank y’all for sharing and caring for the Land of KY.

Profound~♡~ one of the saddest days of my life was saying goodbye to my Barnie and Porky* Didn't realize that all the joyful days with them would end the way they did- hard to know those things seeing the world and life through a child's eyes~ today one of my dearest friends is my butcher~♡~ su-ee*

Hey Ed, I can't even to tell you how much joy you've brought to my life. Rest easy.

The same here, huge farms destroying the land and the water, to export meat and dairy overseas, all greed and farmers moaning because they are being told to clean up their act. Floods everywhere killing livestock. live animals drowning at sea and all the concern is about the money.

Layed out in black and white and we havent made any progress....we have been working against nature instead of with it....

Lovely content the Berry Center is producing right now! I would love the ability to come down to the farm (eastern Kentuckian here!) once COVID-19 is over and take a course. It would be nice to be able to take a 2-hour class with some of your colleagues. I need a teamster course with Rick Thomas ASAP (ha!)

I was lucky to be honored by Wendell Berry. Wendell was at University of Kentucky when I was refusing induction, then going to trial and jail. He came to a UK gathering to say goodbye on my way to jail. Wendell read from a chapter in his book, Long Legged House. (My dad - murdered in a petty robbery, 12 days short of my coming home, read his thoughts to the audience as well.) A chapter in Wendell's book is dedicated in honor of Don Pratt. I thank Wendell and wish he had been able to visit with my dad to learn how dad lived his childhood, and young teaching, experiences and hillside farming knowledge.

Thank you.

If nothing else this taping demonstrates a quality much lacking in our society these days - consistency. His urgent topic was consistently delivered with a gentle tone and still is. As someone discovering him later in life finding his message being delivered the same when I was 4 years old as it is now that I am nearly 50 is an inspiration.

I've been re-reading several of Berry's works and am now on Fidelity, the five short stories that simply blow me away. He is the finest.

I'm excited to join the Port William Membership. Theo Ferguson, Healing Living Systems, Inc., Berkeley, CA

Would love to go to the U.S. for this!

Maybe the greatest speech I have ever heard, it educates, amuses, and emotionally connects. I am utterly impressed with every single thing he says.

This is an honest and explanatory description of the state of ALL modern grand industries......where small sustainable families and communities that have been forced and shifted to going "big" or otherwise if not, move away to the cities, to ironically live close to a produce market. . I can't describe it as well as Wendell does. I'm a city-boy, born in the city (53yo). But I find it much more satisfying to grow my city garden, than to grow things on my computer. There is, for me, a unique satisfaction when my actions "agree" with nature. Maybe that's the reason I enjoy gardening so much. Maybe that's the reason I go to remote camping trips "for fun and respite". Maybe that's the reason I and other city-folk often plan our retirement and death among the trees and homes of hoots of owls in the night.

The truth is the truth, conservation will never change no matter the generation. God bless you Sir Wendell Berry, I'm so much motivated by your work.

thank you for uploading and sharing this. I recently got turned onto wendell berry , and he immediately reminded me of walt whitman, emerson, and thoreau in the same beautiful sense of the transcendentalists.

Dear The Berry Center, I thank God somehow a used copy of Wendell Berry's "The Memory of Old Jack" materialized in my house, and about a year ago, I read it and loved it. Then in a hungry-for-soul-food moment while in a Barnes and Noble store, I was inspired to ask for anything by Wendell Berry, and the only thing available was "Jayber Crow". I read it in about three days, and only after dark, reading into the wee hours of the morning because I couldn't put it down. My mind and Jayber Crow's mind are the same. By way of his gift for description, together with his gift of seeing love in action, in the way we live, Wendell Berry has put two things together which belong together -- my mind and Jayber Crow's mind. For the first time in my life, at age 60, I feel like I have come Home (in the Heaven-sense of the word) in the mind of Jayber Crow, and I feel 100% validated about all the confusion, frustration, and broken-heartedness I feel on a daily basis as I try to maintain a 16 acre plot of land and 40 x 30 foot garden in the heart of Vermont's industrial, confinement, GMO-seed-and Round-Up-spray-obsessed Champlain Valley. Much goes on here that supports the sustainable, non-industrial "old-fashioned" farm model, which is why I thank God I live here. But somehow "Jayber Crow" connected for me two things that were kinda free-floating and disconnected before, and that is "what's a love-affair with the land" and "what's a love affair with a person'". Thank you, The Berry Center, for giving me a place to express my gratitude! And thank you more than I can say, Mr. Berry! Sincerely, Cynthia Wesson

@Wendell_Berry - "What I wish to speak for here is the discipline in the Human character that makes him able to forebear and restrain himself when he's doing obvious damage to other people..." #OMG how I wish I (and many others, especially those at the "top") had been aware of Wendell's insights in 1974! Timeless wisdom!
