“We want to be yardfarmers”
“I’m shocked they let some little girl come dig up their whole yard!”
“It’s 45 families that I’m feeding . . . people come every week.”
American agriculture is under threat from drought, migrating crop belts, and changing storm patterns. Small-scale local agriculture could come to the rescue, helping to climate-proof the reliability of our food sources and to hold costs down.
These young people, from New Jersey to Florida to California, have taken the ideas of small-scale and local to the extreme. You’ll love hearing their plans and hopes. Maybe you know someone who’d like to join them.
