This assignment from 1859 Magazine goes down as one of my all time favorites! The editor, Kevin Max, and I drove all around Oregon talking with young farmers who are devoted to bringing good things to our tables.
From fruit to cows to pigs to wheat, and even vacant city lot planted vegetables, we learned a lot about what it takes to make a commitment to growing things and understanding the unpredictable nature of land.
Here’s a collective cheer to these fascinating and energetic souls!
