I'm working on a second sustainable farming book on the benefits of connecting non-farming citizens with the actual farm itself.
Does anyone have any personal story about either of the following they'd like to share?
1. If you are or were a non-farmer, and how a visit or some direct experience with a sustainable farm helped you or your family/kids begin to understand and support sustainable agriculture on a deeper level.
2. If you currently operate a sustainable farm, even if it's a part-time and/or backyard minifarm (as long as it's up and running and producing some form of income), how bringing people to your actual farm (via workshops, roadside stand, on-farm cooking classes, on-farm store, B&B, etc.), made a difference in the success of your farm.
Thank you SO much. People can post here for the fun of it, although I'll eventually need confirmed e-mails (full names, etc.) sent to the e-mail address at the website below, for any quotes actually used.
Some parts of this new book project, to be published by New World Publishing, may also appear in a variety of magazines I write for, such as Herb Companion, Hobby Farms, AcresUSA, Heirloom Gardening, etc., so your words may go far and wide!!
