Jason Mraz - Farm Aid Supporter / Famous Musician / Avocado Farmer!
My friend over at Sensible City, Christina Lor, forwarded something super cool yesterday and I just had to share it with you. Its an excellent article written by the enviro-journalist Matt Hickman over at MNN (Mother Nature News Network).
Meet the new crop of American farmers — young and energetic idealists who are bringing local, sustainable food back to the table.
But while they might be dwindling in numbers, young farmers are growing in visibility. And they’re a motley, stereotype-shattering crew, for sure.
They’re urban, they hold advanced degrees and they’re often female. They sprout up in not-so-bucolic places like Brooklyn, Oakland, Atlanta and Indianapolis, and they sometimes work as educators, eco-entrepreneurs, yogis, journalists, filmmakers, activists and doting parents on the side. They’re passionate and adventurous. And most notably, they’re focused on sustainability and community building.
