They’re brothers, in the NFL, and home-grown in Alachua
Gainesville Sun – May 28, 2006
The environment of Alachua gets the credit,” said Porter Peterson, the father of the two football players, another son and a daughter who is a senior at Florida. Rodney, 23, the youngest brother, lives in the house in Alachua where the Petersons raised their family and Reatha fed so many other children. The couple moved two years ago into a home at the Gainesville Country Club that was bought by Mike and Adrian. “They didn’t owe us anything,” Porter said. “Out front there are two flags flying, one for the Jacksonville Jaguars and the other for the Chicago Bears. Mike, 29, is a starting linebacker for the Jags… They sit in a fast-food restaurant and a dozen Alachuans come by for soul handshakes and small talk. “To them, we’re just Mike and Adrian,” Mike said, “and that’s the way it should be. “This is still home. Mike has a condo in Gainesville and a house in Jacksonville. Adrian has a place in the suburbs of Chicago. This is where it all started, games at the rec center, Pop Warner touchdowns, car washes to raise money for AAU basketball trips.
Northumberland Meat from home grown grain

They are aware of the magnitude of the task, but are confident they have the resources and the will to successfully complete it. “At first glance it may seem that a bid to make the marketing tag ‘Northumberland Meat’ synonymous – or perhaps as instantly recognisable as ‘Aberdeen Angus’ beef – is very ambitious but it is certainly achievable,” said Neil Carr, general manager of the co-operative. “The manufactured animal feed North East Grains provides is recognised as being of exceptionally high quality and we want to reach the stage where Northumberland farm animals are flourishing on feed produced by Northumberland farmers from Northumberland-grown grain, and that we end up providing excellent field-to-table food under the proud banner ‘Northumberland Meat’. ” North East Grains has come on by leaps and bounds since it was first created by only 12 members in 1987. It began as a hands-on venture by members dealing mainly with grain drying, storage, and marketing. Now it does much more and has plans to increase even further its range of services to members as well as the geographical scale of its operation. Membership now exceeds 70 and is growing as more farmers realise they cannot afford not to be part of the on-going success story.

It will be interesting to discover the entry barriers across the supposed “Common Market” (remember when that was all it was supposed to be about?) we have in the EU. Here in Spain a bottle of wine on the shelves of supermarkets which is not home grown – despite France and Italy not to mention Germany all on the doorstep and in the EU – is about as rare as hens’ teeth. Watch, as yet again, a whirl of EU guff neatly side-stepped by foreign exporters to Britain denies us access to markets elsewhere with our few cases of English wines. The answer is that we should keep our own wine for ourselves and produce much, much more of it – looking even to the sere hills of Wales and perhaps the north of England if not Scotland – then start remembering to buy British again when we are in the shops.
