The Rural Voice, 2005-07, Page 27Hislop's expertise also extends to
herbs. She grows more than 200
varieties.
"It's a lot of the smaller farms that
keep agriculture Flowing, but they're
not the ones you hear about."
Many of the reasons people are
coming back are health-related. "Life
is just too fast paced," says Langford.
Hislop explains. "People got
sucked into the marketing and
advertising of buying from stores.
We were brainwashed. Certainly this
quick food took the workload off, but
everything we got was processed.
Now you find that people go to an
organic farm because they've had a
health problem or have made a
conscious decision to change their
lifestyle.".
"Everyone knows it's better for
them, but it does take a little work. I
come from a farming background,
and 1 feel better knowing I can
produce this food myself," says
Hislop.
Equally important is educating
others. "Our grandson helps
me plant and pick. He has seen
lambs being born. He may never
want to farm, but he actually knoWs
where his food comes from."
Though Hislop retails most of her
herbs and heirloom vegetables at the
St. Marys market, she does do some
farm gate sales as well. "People
come here because they can ask the
questions. They can ask what we use
in our gardens."
She also has many people inquiring
about the fleece from her sheep. And
she's only too happy to answer.0
