Send us a textWhen I was a kid I did not like history class, or as we called it, social studies. For me, it felt like the classes were about memorizing textbook material and dates. I was not lucky enough to have teachers that made it more exciting to learn about history and its importance, relevance, and connection to the now. However, as an adult, I have a whole new appreciation for history, learning about history and even teaching history. I am on the Board of my loc...

2024/12/23

Send us a textI had a very inspiring and deeply insightful conversation with Richard Andres, owner of Tantre Farm in Michigan. Richard is a farmer, a philosopher, and former carpenter.

So when I say my conversation was deeply insightful that is probably an understatement. When I noticed in Richard’s bio that he worked with the...
