"Hock Moths" on Blueberry Bushes, How Farming Gives Life Lessons, What is Un-certified Organic

Noah looks for “hock moths” – “a wormy caterpillar like feller”. They eat the leaves of the blueberry plants starting at the bottom. “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast” is Noah’s motto as he hunts down the hock moths! Organically grown blueberries require you to hand pick them off! Noah describes loving farming because it’s very rewarding, and he finds so many valuable life lessons demonstrated in farming. He talks about several of these life lessons. Noah shows you what is believed to be over 100 year old oak trees amongst the rows, and rows of blueberry bushes and suggests you “simply down” to get your heart right, and that for him being on the farm is about as good as being on stage or writing music. (See Noah’s music website, knowah.net). He shares the point that some companies will use poison to get profit and that karma comes is many ways, and that we must adapt to the natural order that our Creator has established. Noah introduces “Ole Pals Plants and Tinctures” to you. He and his childhood best friend and “ole pal”, David are establishing this new business now. Noah compares Ole Pal’s un-certified organic approach to “certified organic” and gives a surprising fact about the government’s approach to certifying a field as organic when it’s right next to a field that uses pesticides. A shocking fact indeed! So, which is better: un-certified organic or certified organic? What makes them different from each other? Noah also dispels the misconception about criticisms against country folk which claim they are dumb, isolated, and even racists. Noah points out that the critics are against country living because country living is the natural way to live and country folks value hard work and a person’s character; but they would rather people tune into and be dependent on all the (synthetic) things cities have to offer. “Get back to the land” to find your peace.
