April 3, 2012 Dear Sol Food Farms patrons, friends, neighbors, volunteers, and all interested persons: I continue to garden and experiment with a variety of crops and food products. I will, however, let Sol Food go, and I will reinvent a new venture, sometime in the future. I'm allowing myself time to learn from the myriad lessons I've had since launching Sol Food in 2008, and I'm opening myself to new ideas and insight. Sol Food Farms is gone; new ventures will commence. I feel very privileged to have worked with amazing, wonderful people throughout the experiment. THANK YOU! to everyone who strived to bring a small farm venture to life. I recognize that I made tremendous mistakes along the way and I'm very sorry for all of them. I'm working to move forward with my life and my projects in new, better-informed ways. Thank you for your positive energy and support, your hard work and drive, your belief in building a local farm and trade network. I am proud of our accomplishments we made in the first two years on a very small budget. We built a small farm, a mobile kitchen, local currency, and we initiated a dialogue that continues to grow. The strength to persevere for that time was only possible through blood, sweat, and tears of amazing people, volunteers, and friends. I am eternally grateful. I'm sad that this venture didn't work out, and I continue to believe in the original mission of growing food and promoting local trade. I hope others have similar visions and feel empowered to work in similar ways. I cheer for each of you who is working to build and promote local food movements worldwide. Wishing you health and creativity, ~Chris
