Small Farmer's Journal actually had the Alachua Temple/Farm featured in an

article in 1984 (if I remember correctly). It featured their Ox program and

"ISKCON Implements," a devotee temple-sponsored business that imported animal

driven farm implements from Latin America.

 

A really nice devotee there named Akincina Krishna has it laminated. There were

great pictures of devotees driving the oxen four abreast and sometimes two

teams of four abreast in tendem (8 animals). People would stop their cars on

the side of the road to watch as the main fields were right in front of the

farm - the artical cited this fact. Great preaching!

Good old Lynn Miller and Small Farmer's Journal! As soon as I saw the

"Sisters, Oregon" location-line in the header, I imediately suspected he

had something to do with it. When we were publishing Hare Krsna Rural

Life, I always thought of Small Farmer's Journal as my model.
