planet-green-logoHow very sweet! Discovery’s Planet Green gave us a shout out on Thursday, interviewing Dave G and Jerri about their reasons for becoming Founding Farmers. From the article:

Yogic philosophy is deeply rooted in a connection to the planet so it’s no coincidence that this relationship influenced the establishment of the Ananda Harvest, a project which began in order to grow the food for the Ananda Ashram and then took on a life of its own. For founding farmers Dave Gottlieb and Jerri Chou it all started as an escape from New York City. Both Dave, who grew up close to the Ananda Ashram and who’s parents had met there, and Jerri who had spent a bit of time there, felt the need to give back to Ananda. When they realized that a portion of the ashram’s land wasn’t being utilized and in fact had once been a farm, they saw the perfect avenue for a rebirth of what was once there.
