"Evolution of Organic" at the Grange
Dec. 19, 2017, 8:14 p.m.
In November 2017 Mark Kitchell brought his new documentary film, Evolution of Organic, to the Willits Little Lake Grange in Northern California. It's a new film on the history of organic agriculture told by those who built the movement. Willits and the surrounding county of Mendocino have a rich tradition of organics and everybody in the audience was either a happy consumer of local food or a farmer/gardener themselves.
Gloria and Stephen Decater and Ruthie King are among those local farmer/gardeners and in addition they were important participants in the movie, Evolution of Organic. The Decaters began as students of Alan Chadwick's in Santa Cruz, and founded in 1973 the Live Power Community Farm in Round Valley in Mendocino County.
It is a 50-acre, solar electric and horse-powered, certified biodynamic farm. Four acres are devoted to an intensive vegetable garden. The rest of the farm is used to grow home orchard fruits and field and forage crops for hay, grain, and pasture. Animals on the Live Power Community Farm include draft horses, dairy and beef cows, feeder pigs, sheep, and laying hens.
Ruthie King is Director of Operations and Livestock Manager at the Grange Farm School on Ridgewood Ranch - where she lives. She is also the Representative of the Mendocino Farmer's Guild and Overseer of the Little Lake Grange.
After the screening of the film they came forward to comment and answer questions. Curiously this particular audience asked many questions about two founding personalities of the organic movement and the Philosophy behind it who were no longer alive when the film was made: Alan Chadwick and Rudolf Steiner.
Alan Chadwick was an English master gardener, and a leading innovator of organic farming techniques based on Biodynamic and French Intensive gardening practice. He was a student of Rudolf Steiner's. Steiner, who died in March 1925 was an Austrian philosopher, social reformer, architect and agriculturalist. He founded a number of schools, the first of which was known as the Waldorf school, which later evolved into a worldwide school network. He also founded a system of organic agriculture, now known as biodynamic agriculture, which was one of the very first forms of modern organic farming.
The film: Evolution of Organic by Mark Kitchell is going into distribution in early 2018. Kitchell also introduced the writer Kim Bancroft who used transcripts of the many practitioners of organics. She edited them into essays, preserving material that was impossible to fit into the 86 minute film.
Director and writer Mark Kitchell is best known for his movies: Berkeley in the Sixties and his environmental film A Fierce Green Fire. The web site for the film is http://evolutionoforganic.com/
I recorded this program at the Willits Little Lake Grange on November 17, 2017.

Ganjapreneurs: Andy Greenberg & Sharon Krinsky
Dec. 19, 2017, 6:45 p.m.
With the passing of the 21st amendment in 1933, the United States repealed alcohol prohibition. Prior to the prohibition era, saloons had catered to an almost exclusively male clientele. So it took several years for distillers and brewers to catch on to the fact that women enjoyed drinking alcohol, as well. The first successful spirits marketing campaign that targeted women, for Crown Royal whiskey, was in 1939 â with the velvety purple pouch apparently meant to double as a jewelry bag. Fast forward to 2017, where cannabis prohibition is beginning to crumble state-by-state. Like its liquid predecessor, the cannabis industry is still largely male-dominated. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to two women who are working to change all that. Andy Greenberg and Sharon Krinsky, are the founders of Society Jane, a cannabis business that targets women customers. We discuss the game-changing medicinal benefits of a relatively new cannabonoid derivative, CBD, how it appeals to a female market, and the challenges this burgeoning industry faces while prohibition is still technically the law of the land.

Confronting the Balfour Consequences (2nd panel in the conference)
Dec. 18, 2017, 7:50 p.m.
Long celebrated by Zionists and condemned by justice activists, the so-called Balfour Declaration, 100 years ago, is credited with setting in motion the creation of the state of Israel on Palestinian land ... without consulting Palestinians. On paper, it was a 67-word letter in 1917 signed by Lord Arthur Balfour, then Britain's Foreign Secretary.
This is the THIRD of five consecutive shows from the conference "Balfourâs Legacy: Confronting the Consequences," held on November 11th at the First Parish Church in Cambridge MA. There were many engaging presenters. Two weeks ago we presented Yousef Munayyer's keynote address. Last week we presented the first of three conference panels, with the title "Balfour, Israel and Palestine." Today we present the 2nd panel, titled "Confronting the Balfour Consequences."
The three speakers and their subjects are as follows:
Amahl Bishara, Tufts University
Consequences for Palestinians
Anat Biletzki, Quinnipiac University
Consequences for Israel and the Jewish people
Rami Khouri, American University in Beirut
Consequences for the Middle East
Because of radio time constraints, our presentation of the fourth speaker, Nancy Murray (Consequences for the USA), is postponed until next week.
This panel was facilitated by Thomas Abowd, Tufts University, and recorded by our associate, Noble Larson.
