Young Farmers and Old Farmers - Part 2
One of the big challenges facing small farms these days is the lack of young farmers filling the gaps left by an older generation.
It’s a complex issue, and certainly not black and white. But there are reasons that this matters.

Three farms are starting from scratch.
They are turning the dirt and hoping to be successful enough to turn a profit, and to become a valuable part of their communities as suppliers of organically grown food.
Peaceful Valley is giving them a head start by offering them special pricing as part of this Freshman Farmer program.
