R.A.S. Restoring Agricultural Science

About me:

R.A.S. was founded by Melvin Milbourne, Martel Hurlock, and Kala Getchell in the spring of 2009. Restoring Agricultural Science’s goal is to get bet back to the basics. Working together, sharing and caring for one another, likewise our community. R.A.S. aims to bridge the gap between the generations thru cultivating the land, as well as our minds. Infants cared for, aged protected (also respected), the sick nourished, and the hungry fed (as well as shown how to feed themselves). R.A.S. is a volunteered base group, all those who are willing, let them come. 2010 looks to be a great year! The harvest is plenty, but the laborers are who?
