“They used the devil’s tools…”

i hope that in a future time it will be said of the work of vermont compost company that, “they used the devil’s tools, but left it cool for mules”. by that i mean that we are developing land forms that will serve a post industrial farm even as they enable us to exist in the now of 53 foot tractor trailers. roman roads and aqueducts still carry freight and water 2000 years after that empire’s glory days. Maya terraces are still planted. we are using dinosaur sized earth moving machines burning re-cycled fry oil , canola oil in their hydraulic arteries and veins. we take responsibility for the soil ethics of the earth shaping we do. we at vermont compost company are committed to improving farmability of the soils of any place on which we work. in order to deconstruct industrial agriculture, we need to form a vision of another way of farming the future and then we need to eat while we transition towards that vision.
