Good soil = excellent food= healthy people = better quality of life. After reading about the brix testing….I am reminded just how far away from common sense we’ve come.

I was curious to know if Brix could give a general measure of nutrient content beyond sugars. The engineer in me devised a simple test. I stirred some crystalline vitamin C into a glass of water. Sure enough, the Brix measurement raised from 0 for plain water to 3 for water with the vitamin C added. From apple to apple and orange to orange, I'll go for the higher Brix option.

Let's hope more farmers and ranchers implement this on their farms as a result of your endorsement. That would be good for our health!

Healthy, biologically active, well mineralized soils on organic farms are key to animal health and therefore human health.

It just makes sense that if you treat the soil right, the food grown there will treat us right too - whether it's in how good it tastes or the nutrition it supplies to our bodies. We're already starting to think about our garden and can't wait to check out Astera's blog more. The blog tagline draws you in right away, "I won't rest until farming is cooler than rock 'n roll"!!
