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. In Part 2 of our interview, Reverend Gillette speaks further about her collaborative work with watercolorist Tommy Beers, their experiences in visiting the small-scale regional farms, and the lessons that she took away from their deeper look at the farms in the book. Reverend Gillette shares:
-How families and children can talk about food, to bring a deeper level of awareness and gratitude of its value;
-How Reverend Gillette’s friendship with a sunflower farmer changed her understanding of the many steps of producing flowers and seeds;
-How farms and food provide opportunities for growth of consciousness;
-A reading of two poems in Walking the Land, and their significance to the author.
