Ronnie
A year has gone by since we lost our valiant leader, Ronnie Cummins. We are marking this anniversary with so much gratitude for where he has brought all of our organizations: Organic Consumers Association, Regeneration International, Vía Orgánica, and the entire organic regenerative movement.
From The Star Tribune obituary:
“Cummins, Ronnie (1946-2023), was a leading figure in the global organic regenerative food and farming movement. His enthusiastic organizing skills were infused with passion, warmth, courage and tenacity. He was tireless in his work for justice and peace. Ronnie called three places home. He developed deep roots in Finland, Minnesota, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Are Your Blueberries REAL Organic?
Linley Dixon, Co-Director, Real Organic Project:
"It’s that delicious time of year again. Every April and May the Real Organic Project celebrates Florida’s Springtime blueberry season, thanks to the careful land stewardship of Hugh and Lisa Kent. The blueberries just taste better at King Grove Organic Farm compared to anything that you can find on store shelves. They were the first farm in America to use the Real Organic Project seal in 2019.
Hugh and Lisa work very long hours and typically harvest more blueberries per acre than the average “conventional” blueberry farm. The driver of all of this bounty is the organic growing system they have painstakingly invented over many years. Among other things, they designed and fabricated their own mowers to mulch “green manure” (the vegetation that grows in the rows between the blueberry plants) and move that mulch up onto the base of the plants. This living mulch turns into a weed barrier and becomes the primary fertility for the crop.
Together, we can rally around something beautiful. Thank you for your support of "Real Organic Project farms."
