Despu\u00e9s del instituto, se alist\u00f3 en el ej\u00e9rcito y conoci\u00f3 a su futuro marido Bryon mientras ambos estaban destinados en servicio activo en la Base A\u00e9rea de Travis.<\/p>\n<p>Bryon hab\u00eda crecido ayudando en el rancho de 30 acres de su familia, que se hizo cargo de gestionar de adulto, as\u00ed que Heather se uni\u00f3 a \u00e9l y se lanz\u00f3 a ayudar con la cosecha y el trabajo de oficina. Pronto compraron una granja de nogales de 20 acres con una descascarilladora, una secadora y un negocio de cosecha personalizada.<\/p>\n<p>\"Su sue\u00f1o era construir un imperio familiar en el que nuestros hijos pudieran criarse en la granja y heredaran el negocio cuando nos jubil\u00e1ramos\", recuerda Heather. \"Lamentablemente, falleci\u00f3 de c\u00e1ncer pocos a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, dej\u00e1ndonos el rancho a m\u00ed y a nuestra hija de un a\u00f1o\". Gracias a su licenciatura en finanzas y a sus 16 a\u00f1os de experiencia militar, Heather se asegura de que el legado del rancho contin\u00fae.<\/p>\n<p>\"Es por mi difunto marido por lo que quiero pasarme a lo biol\u00f3gico\", explica. \"Antes de que le diagnosticaran la enfermedad, era fuerte, sano y nunca iba al m\u00e9dico por nada. Aunque nunca sabremos con seguridad qu\u00e9 le caus\u00f3 el c\u00e1ncer, creo que los productos qu\u00edmicos que utiliz\u00f3 toda su vida, viviendo en la granja, fueron la causa. Creo que nuestra alimentaci\u00f3n y el medio ambiente al que estamos expuestos tienen un enorme impacto en la salud de nuestras familias.\"<\/p>\n<p>Heather quiere dedicar sus tierras a la producci\u00f3n ecol\u00f3gica para ayudar a otras familias como la suya. \"Siento el deber de asegurarme de que mis hijos no enferman, y el deber de cultivar alimentos que, en \u00faltima instancia, sean m\u00e1s sanos para los dem\u00e1s\", afirma. \"Mi sue\u00f1o es transmitir a mis hijos la responsabilidad de cuidar el medio ambiente. Cuando o\u00ed hablar de esta subvenci\u00f3n, me pareci\u00f3 perfecta para ayudarme en el proceso de transici\u00f3n a la agricultura ecol\u00f3gica.\"<\/p>\n<p>Los envases de la <a href=\"https:\/\/ccof.org\/es\/foundation\/\">Fundaci\u00f3n CCOF<\/a> se enorgullece de apoyar a productores como Heather White con la subvenci\u00f3n de Transici\u00f3n Ecol\u00f3gica, que proporciona subvenciones trienales de $10.000 al a\u00f1o a los agricultores que est\u00e1n pasando sus tierras a la producci\u00f3n ecol\u00f3gica.
