It’s been so long since I’ve seen someone refer to a farmer as a ‘rock star’ that I almost forgot I had a category for these folks on the VFG blog.
Here’s a nice story in the Salt Lake Tribune about three of the Utah’s farmers (and their families) behind the ever-growing community supported agriculture movement.
The mini-profiles offer a snapshot of the diverse backgrounds of the farmers – backyard gardeners turned organic farmers; ex-high school football star/ballet dancer; and a former office worker who left behind her regular paycheck and health benefits for a life bringing certified organic eggs to market.
