Genuinely Farming Exhibit

The Genuinely Farming exhibit was created for the 2017 edition of the Philatelic Digital Rendez-Vous hosted by Richard Frajola.  I was honored to receive the award for the "Most Enjoyable" Exhibit for that event.

I have uploaded the pages shown in that exhibit here so that persons visiting my blog might enjoy them.  I am also experimenting with methods that I can use to show exhibit material on this blog.  If you want to read more about the background of this exhibit, scroll to the bottom of the page.

The items in this exhibit highlight material I have collected since the inception of the Genuine Faux Farm in 2004.  Our small, diversified vegetable and poultry farm, in some ways, might be considered a throw-back to older farming methods - so it makes some sense to be attracted to postal history that features agriculture/horticulture from days gone by.  We believe that we are not so much a throwback as much as we are farmers that are interested in being intelligent about how we do things on our farm without damaging the environment and becoming reliant on outside resources to produce food.

The combination of my interest in older postal history along with the desire to educate others about farming seems like a good excuse to put together an entertaining and informative exhibit.  We hope you enjoy viewing it.  Feel free to comment if you wish.
