The majority of today’s new organic farmers are more likely to hail from the ‘burbs or city than the farm. These new pioneers of the organic movement face an uphill battle as they respectfully challenge those who came before them to rethink the way they farm, while they want to learn from their elders, as well. Some young farmers are second-generation organic producers whose parents were the movement trailbreakers. These groups of newer and younger farmers have much in common. They see organic farming as an environmental and social mission, a way to reposition the farmer into a place of respect in society, and as a way to heal rural communities economically, physically and spiritually. This section features our next generation of farmers.
