This is the story of Britain's first organic in modern times to run entirely without animal slaughter or the use of fossil fuels. The true story of a unique experiment to transplant Hindu values of cow protection and working oxen to the modern Western world. It all began when George Harrison donated an historic Hertfordshire manor house and 20 acres of farmland to a young community of Krishna people fresh from the city, and two cows. Thirty-six years later the experiment has grown into an organic carbon-free working farm in a superb set of low-tech English oak farm buildings housing fifty cows and oxen. The organic farm embodies the principles of sustainable and ethical living necessary for future peace and prosperity.

The Cure for Nature's Imbalance,

This review is from: Cows and the Earth: A Story of Kinder Dairy Farming (Hardcover)
The abuses of modern technology are destroying the planet. Nature and Nature's God have created cows,bulls, and oxen to work the land together and provide us nourishing milk, earth enriching manure (that can even be used to produce biofuel) and labor to plow, pull, or turn generators. If we want to survive, we must learn to protect these wonderful beasts from abuses of the slaughterhouse and modern factory dairies.
Please read The English Teacher and The Golden Avatarfor more information about how to transform world consciousness to Krishna Consciousness.
