Of course, there is a GOD !! Great job, D.Joe Griffith..you earned your fee !!

[Jaxbuck]

As a person born and raised in Barnesville,all I can say is "Thanks for reading the Small print" Yeah for the little guy again....Go Shamrocks !!!

[Stellars mom]

Congratulations to this hard working small farmer!Keep it up! I remember your veggies and your great attitude. There IS an ag mindset in Ohio, its just buried deep! But not as deep as that coal!

Great to hear-laud to the tillers of land!

[Charles]

Looks to me that she is making a better use of the land.

We have been CSA members for years and love Sandy's produce. What a loss it would have been if that land had been mined. I love the photo too--I took it!

Sandy is a person who believes in working for what is right (honest labor for healthy food). That she was rewarded with a fair outcome to this dilemma that was forced upon her amazes me in this era of corporate power. Remember the little guy can win, should win but it can be a painful, risky (and expensive)road. We should all take heart in this good news story.

At last, one for the good guys...if I lived closer, I would definitely be a customer......!
