Farmer Jack
Greetings, my name is Jack Daly, and I am the new grower/beekeeper at Sun Valley CSA. Several months ago, I had the opportunity to volunteer for Dave and Carolyn Llewellyn while interning at the Pfeifer Center. During and following that informative visit, I had a strong impulse that I would be in some way involved with Sun Valley Farm. And so it is.
I grew up in Bergen County in Palisades Park and Oradell. I went to college in NYC and Pittsburgh where I studied economic and social development. After university, I had the wonderful opportunity to work in Europe and Asia for a combined 8 years working on economic and political issues. Upon return I have trained and worked as a Waldorf Teacher and as an adjunct professor here in New Jersey and Hawaii. With the extra time during the past seven years, I have had the opportunity to be in and around organic and biodynamic farming. While teaching, I have interned and resided at centers that garden organically and biodynamically namely: Sivananda Ashrarm, The Pfeifer Center and Kona Biodynamic Farm. With that accrued experience, when the opportunity came to grow at Sun Valley Farm, I decided to that it is time to take the initiative and move out on an issue—organic food and nutrition, that I believe is so important to the true development of human beings.

I have been growing vegetables in my backyard for the past 8 years and I welcome the opportunity to expand this to a larger scale. I am also happy to be contributing in a small way to what I believe is the path to sustainability and the betterment of society.
My other interests include gathering wild edibles, hiking, nature photography and sustainable living.

Enrenfried Pfeiffer an early Biodynamic Pioneer wrote, “How can it happen that the spiritual impulse, and especially the inner schooling for which you are constantly providing stimulus and guidance, bear so little fruit? Why do the people concerned give so little evidence of spiritual experience, in spite of their efforts? Why worst of all, is the will for action, for the carrying out of these spiritual impulses, so weak?” Rudolf Steiner replied, “This a problem of nutrition. Nutrition as it is today does not supply the strength necessary for manifesting the spirit in physical life. A bridge can no longer be built from thinking to will and action. Food plants no longer contain the forces people need for this.”
