Old School Skills: Organic Farming

Blischke has been living the life of a farmer for the past 13 years. Before that, she commuted to Boston where she worked as an administrator for the federal Women, Infants and Children program that helps low-income families obtain milk and other nutritious foods.
After her first child was born in 1986 she traded her suit, blouse and high heels, for jeans, a tractor and braids. Money was tight then, and it is now, but the tradeoff is that her children Travis, 21, and Stephanie, 14, grew up surrounded by the bounty nature provides.
The farm has expanded from producing just fruits and vegetables to one that sells eggs, herbs, honey, home-made soap, goat’s yarn, lip balm and hot pepper sauce.
Most of her products are certified organic.
She uses modern techniques and equipment, but the sweat and hard work is the same as it was more than a 100 years ago when the South Shore boasted hundreds of farms. Today, there are only a handful, and most only grow produce. Profits are rare, and every year is a struggle, Blischke says, as she stops hoeing a row of potatoes to watch two birds whiz by overhead.

“Indian Cotton Growers Invest In Organics”

Watch as a group of Indian villagers revert back from conventional farming methods to farming the way their forefathers farmed. They understand that by conventionally farming, they have put themselves in a treadmill situation, where each year, soil fertility goes down and consequently every year one must increase the amount of inputs going into the soil and subsequently increase costs.
By farming organically these farmers make more profits. As fertility is brought back into the soil the inputs will be lower. The farmers save money by eliminating fertilizers and pesticides as well as not having the cost of buying seeds. Then when they market their cotton the price of organic cotton is 8 – 15% higher compared to conventional cotton. This group being Fair trade receives a further 20 -30% consequently increasing the price more than 40%!

“Organic Farmers Control Their Market”

Through co-operation and joining forces to hire a marketing agent, organic farmers groups can negotiate the prices they want. No longer are these farmers at the mercy of the market forces. With regular communication farmers benefit from the umbrella organization, Ofarm who co-ordinate a pool of supplies to create market strength. Farming Secrets encourages all farmers tojoin together to compete against the market rather than against each other.
