“We are lead Plaintiff in OSGATA et al v.

Justice Begins with Seeds: A letter from organic farmer Jim Gerritsen
Dear Friends Attending the Justice Begins with Seeds Conference,
The demands of our farming in Maine prevent me from being with you today. We do join you in the belief that justice is necessary for lasting change, most especially as it relates to seed.

We live and follow the belief that everyone in the organic community has an obligation to help grow and protect our community.
