The Faillaces were the first farming business that the beginning
Rootswork members decided to incubate for Valley agriculture growth.
Then the feds rode in and took the sheep. Since those days Rootswork
has been stalemated by the Faillaces' issues.
I'm disappointed, knowing so many well-meaning Valley folks who have
tried to do great things with Rootswork. The current Rootswork board
has made hard decisions and you've got to be proud of that. Rootswork
has survived after being ahead of its time. Think back to its
beginning, the greater community was just waking up to food issues, now
its hitting home hard.
Now in The Valley, the Kingsbury farm and more are being looked at. Why
create a new non-profit, Rootswork has survived a test of time and God
knows the lessons that have been learned. Take that experience and run
with it.
