Welcome to the Towards a Kinder Public Thanksgiving episode, Part 1 of 2. Walking the Land: A Loving Tribute to Family Farms is a new book of watercolor paintings, poetic reflections, and interviews with small and family farmers in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. Reverend Gillette speaks about the origins of this work in collaboration with watercolorist Tommy Beers, their experiences in visiting the small-scale regional farms, and why this type of farm is so crucial to preserve. We discuss:
-Her gratitude and admiration for the work of farming and its deeper meaning;
-What a children’s game can teach us about our unique contributions to collective wellbeing;
-The brilliance and determination of farmers;
-How small and family farms- not large agribusiness- connect us to our human origins.
