Tell Your Friends!
I recently learned of the plight of Azure Farm in Oregon, from articles by Mike Adams, founder of www.naturalnews.com. County officials had apparently decided that the mechanical weed control that has been the practice of Azure Farm for many years was no longer acceptable, and that the 2000 acre organic grower had to accept forced spraying of all their acreage with highly toxic herbicides, that would effectively destroy their business and poison the land for many years to come.
Azure Farms and Azure Standard, one of the largest organic distribution companies in America, both founded and owned by David Stelzer, needed help from their customers and friends. Thanks to the marketing and social media expertise of David Cross, Marketing Director of Azure Standard, the word went out, and other important real news outlets like Natural News also made a big difference, sending an emergency call to friends of organic farming and healthy living everywhere. Sherman County officials received over 57,000 emails letting them know what a bad idea spraying an organic farm would be, and they appear to be reconsidering their action now and offering better options.
As I am sure our listeners understand, this issue goes far beyond just some local tyrants in Sherman County, it is a microcosm of the bigger question, will chemical agriculture be able to partner with local, state and federal government to eradicate organic farming in America. That is an issue of immediate and massive importance to each one of us and to generations to come. I wanted to provide Lost Arts Radio listeners with an inside view of the real situation at Azure Farms, the latest developments with the county government, and what those in charge of the farm would like us to do, to support them, in appreciation of the great health service they are providing for America.
So come with us on Sunday, May 21st, meet Azure Farms founder David Stelzer, and Azure Farms Marketing Director David Cross. Let’s see what we need to do, to give them and Azure Farms the support they deserve, for providing such inspirational leadership in the organic food movement in America and worldwide.
Join me, your host Richard Sacks, every week for fascinating discussions, amazing guests and useful information that you will not want to miss. If you want to support the work of Lost Arts Research Institute, please donate to our efforts at www.lostartsresearchinstitute.org, and tell others about the show. Also, even if you don’t have money available to donate to our work (and I don’t want you to donate money you need for yourself or your family), we have a new way now for you to help us if you want to. When you shop at Amazon for anything, instead of going to their usual website, go to smile.amazon.com. You can do all the same shopping at exactly the same prices. But 1/2% of what you spend goes to help our work. It will ask you what IRS-approved non-profit you want to support, and just choose “Lost Arts Research Institute” in Sedona, Arizona. It won’t cost you anything, and it will help us keep going.
The Institute website is still being developed, and deals with the work and larger project of the Research Institute, which we hope those with sufficient resources will support with donations that are now 100% tax deductible. The Institute is the entity that will build and run the educational facility where principles of health and consciousness can be demonstrated and experienced.
On the radio show website (www.lostartsradio.com) you will find links to the radio show archives, articles/news, educational resources, announcements, the discussion forum, Doug’s important news review, “The Diamond Report” (on the homepage under Hottest New Selections, in the tenth spot) and more. You can also sign up for our free newsletter to get information about upcoming shows and more.
Thanks for being part of our family and we look forward to being with you on our next show. Feel free to communicate your comments and suggestions to me any time – I will read them all and respond as time permits.
