Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "Farmers by Nature is not for the casual jazz fan. It gives up its secrets slowly, but the gems hidden in this sonic earth are plentiful, poetic, and remarkable."[2]

The Down Beat review by Bill Meyer says that "The trio ranges freely between pulse-based lyricism, surging energy and gnomic exchanges, as though they were following an elliptical orbit that takes them far out, only to come close again.""[3]
