…I am at once pleased with and perplexed by what I am seeing on this small farm, owned and operated by Peter and Susan Corning, who once they retired from their lifelong careers, decided to invest the profit procured in their “prior lives,” as Susan describes, to build and maintain a biointensive organic farm together.

…Perhaps it is the increasing knowledge and awareness of the greed-inspired degradation of our food system that is fueling the back-to-the-land movement gradually sweeping the more industrialized regions of the world—of which Peter and Susan Corning are an integral part. Their belief that “our vast, complex system of industrial agriculture is unsustainable over the long term, in its present form” was the driving force behind their decision to become proactive in the organic farming movement…. In my opinion, they represent those who have managed to harness the notion of moral profit.
