We just released a new webcast about local food and farming.
A couple weeks ago, we had the pleasure of hosting a webcast for Strong Towns members with Ferguson, MO-based farmer, Molly Rockamann of EarthDance Organic Farm School. Kea Wilson interviewed Molly about how the farm got started, the challenges and advantages of having a farm in this location, where local food intersects with building Strong Towns and much more.
We're now releasing the webcast for everyone to view. (You can also listen to the audio from this webcast in podcast format if you prefer.
And even if you're not looking to become a farmer in the near future, there's still a lot to learn from this webcast. The conversation considers how farmers and non-farmers can be good neighbors to one another, how local food can support a strong local economy, and how regular people can take small steps to participate in local food systems, whether or not you're ready to get down in the dirt and grow something.
