The New Farmers
"I
realized that, to me, the difference between the environmental movement
and growing food is that growing food is really positive. You’re saying
yes, instead of asking people to stop something. Here I’m building
something, and I like that. I like that we’re stewards of this land,
that we’re building the soil and taking care of the pollinators, the
bees, the birds—it’s just so positive,” Deena Miller of Sweet Roots
Farm. Read more in Orion Magazine.
