This is a cross-post from The Greenhorns, providing professional development and cultural vibrancy within the young farmers movement. Greenhorns produce events+ media that support, promote and recruit new organic growers, including film, radio, almanacs, exhibits, art-stunts and networking mixers.
Resilience, transition, inter-generational collaboration, food sovereignty, land stewardship, low-input, diversified farming is the ground story of the new economy we are building together. Greenhorns say: don’t build a bunker, build a relationship with the new farmers and new economy entrepreneurs in your community. Figure out how to help with graphics, materials, office space, accounting, legal services, social networking, volunteer hours, or in barter for food. Working together, we can do more to rebuild community resilience.
