Celebrate “culture” in agriculture & share skills like growing, cooking, canning
"How to Start an Organic Farm: A Visit To Fire Mountain Farm
From friend and HOMEGROWNer JessicaReeder's blog:
Catherine Gockley, owner of Fire Mountain Farm and Apiary, didn’t start out as a farmer. She didn’t even start out wanting to be a farmer. But once she sets her mind to things, they get done:
having decided to become a grower later in life, she spent ten years
learning and working to reach her goal. Fire Mountain is a beautiful
example of an organic, chemical-free farm built on small acreage and
with a reasonable budget— and Catherine made it all happen on her own
gumption.
