Jonh Ceteras is a remarkable man.

I had the luxury of working with him side-by-side for 5 years as his farm-hand.

John became like a Father to me. His integrity, honesty, and passion for what he believes in changed my life forever...and now, as a father myself, I can share his wisdom with my son.

Working at Blue Heron Farm was never a job for me, it was an education in how to be a decent man...I will never forget you, John.

Thank you. I miss you deeply.

Much love,

Corky

John Ceteras is one of the most remarkable human beings ever...

If we had more men on this planet like John, then this planet would be heaven on earth.

I had the luxury of working with him side-by-side for 5 years. We spent hours, weeks, months, working the land, sitting and chatting about life in the 'Nut House' , listening to jazz and swing on the radio, sorting walnuts, hand polishing tons of oranges, picking tomatoes and working the land with honor and pride.

Thank you, John.
