The Practice of Working Together

The wholeness of the farm articulates itself into fields of work, each responsibly attended to by one or several members according to ability and inclination. This articulation — into, for example, the field of arable farming and plant cultivation, of horticulture or fruit growing, of manuring, of the various areas of animal husbandry, of meadow and pasture husbandry, of landscape care, and so forth — must not degenerate into a division of labour, not into attitudes of entitlement, not into the marking-off of kingdoms. On the contrary: out of the consciousness of the whole, the highest flexibility is called for — fluid transitions, mutual help, stepping in for one another wherever and whenever it is needed.
