As a casual and sometimes avid observer of local farms, I can’t help but be encouraged by everything I’ve seen in the space of five or ten years.
Yes, we’re still losing farmland, but we’ve seen an explosion in farmer’s markets and CSAs. Travel out to Coventry any Sunday morning, and you’ll see a kind of teeming activity that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. Accompanying this has been a new creativity among the farmers in terms of what they choose to grow and what kinds of alliances they form, especially with the new wave of restaurants eager to put local meat, cheese and produce on their menus.
But what a scene like this needs is even more new ideas, and that’s what you’ll hear today from an activist, a state official, a farm and food lawyerand the owner of local organic cafe.
We’ll even explore the question: What is a farm? The answer may surprise you.
