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.

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%!
As shown by a 13 year study, organic farming is not only more beneficial for the environment, it is also more profitable. The study compared organic farming to conventional mono cropping and came up with these findings.

The article in The Age “Thornley blasts power bosses over coal use” (p.2 by Adam Morton 25.04.09) is spot on. The Victorian Government led by John Brumby seems more interested in jobs for the boys than jobs for the people. Brumby’s lack of leadership in applying rational, logical thinking that would serve to create long term solutions is starkly evident once again.
Thornley claims that coal should not be burnt but rather have the carbon extracted and burn
the gas. This way we would not only have carbon to sell for $1200 a tonne to India and China to use in water purification, we would cut emisssions by two thirds, save the equivalent of 2 desalination plants worth of water and double the number of coalminers jobs. Presently we are getting nothing for the carbon and at best a negative $30 when there is a carbon price and “killing the planet”.
Seems like simple and obvious arithmetic to me. Just like it is not to provide water by building an energy guzzling, environmentally disastrous, shortlived desalination plant or a pipe from the Goulburn River to supply Melbourne. The latter is nowhere near finished and already been declared a failure! On top of that, the ratepayers are being told that they will carry the burden of these Government projects. When will the Government serve the people instead of lining the pockets of yet another mate’s company?
What we need are leaders who have vision and the courage to plan for our future and to not bow to the self serving needs of big business. A great leader creates a sound future for all and enrols the people in making it happen. It has nothing to do with protecting entrenched views from people trying to protect their jobs and their ego. Nor is it about taking easy options.
