Among the many gifts Jack gave to us and the world was cultivation. Cultivation of plants and animals to provide nutritious foods. Cultivation of knowledge through his teaching at UVM and beyond. And, perhaps most importantly, cultivation of relationships — bringing together people throughout the food system to find a common path to sustainability. Jack’s work to help found the Northern Grain Growers Association is an example of this cultivation. Bringing together not only farmers but bakers, millers, and buyers that he met through his business and travels — all with the common goal of feeding people healthy foods while healing the earth.
Through the Northern Grain Growers Collaborative, there is a donation opportunity to the Northern Flint Corn Consortium in honor of Jack.
