AN OASIS OF LOVE

TO US WORKING HERE, BAROK IS THE PERFECT OASIS FOR PRACTICING LOVE. WE’RE STILL YOUNG AND NAIVE AND NONE OF US HAVE HAD ANY MAJOR EDUCATION

NAIVE ENOUGH TO GRASP THE IDEA THAT WE DO NOT LEARN IN SCHOOL BUT IN LIFE BECUASE LOVING SCHOOL ISN’T EXACTLY OUR JAM

WE’VE CHOSEN INSTEAD, TO LOVE LIFE

WE LOVE

…WAKING UP EVERY DAY TO LEARN WHATEVER THE UNIVERSE HAS TO TEACH US.

…THE CRAFT OF WHAT WE DO ON THE DAILY

…CARING FOR THE FRUITS AND VEGGIES, GIVING THEM ALL THE LOVE THEY DESERVE.

…CAREFULLY EXTRACTING COFFEE AND POURING NATURAL WINES – ENDING THE CYCLE OF LOVE FOR THE RAW MATERIAL THAT THE PEOPLE DOWN THE LINE HAS PUT INTO IT

…THE LAUGHS THAT YOU BRING TO OUR SPACE, SHARING GOOD TIMES AND SERVING YOU IN WAYS THAT MAKES YOU AND US FEEL HUMAN. WITHOUT ANY PEOPLE TO LOVE, OUR REASON TO EXIST ITSELF CEASES TO EXIST.

OUR LOVE FOR MOTHER EARTH

WE LOVE LEARNING HOW TO CARE FOR MOTHER EARTH AND THE NATURE THAT UNCONDITIONALLY NURTURES US.

WE BELIEVE THAT IN THE SAME WAY FUNGI AND TREES SUPPORTS EACH OTHER, WE HUMANS NEED TO REMEMBER OUR SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH THE FORCE THAT CREATED US IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT’S CERTAINLY A PROCESS, AND WE HUMANS SEEM TO HAVE GATHERED A BIT OF FALSE BELIEFS AS TO HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN – OR HOW TO NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN, IF YOU WILL. WE’VE GONE ASTRAY FROM THE PATH AND LEARNING THE WAY BACK TAKES TIME, BUT NEED TO WE DO WHAT WE CAN TO KEEP EXPANDING OUR KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

AS WITH EVERYTHING IMPORTANT, WE’RE STRIVING TOWARDS LEARNING ABOUT INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO HELP NURTURE THE PLANET, SUPPORT THE EMERGANCE OF BETTER SOLUTIONS TO OUR CURRENT FOOD SYSTEM AND HELP BRING ECONOMIC EQUALITY TO EVERY LINK IN THE CHAIN OF SUPPLY. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION TO ASSIST US IN DEVELOPING THIS FURTHER, PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO CONTACT US.
