Synopsis

Tonight's Guest: Tonight's Guests: Ken Fox and Noelle Fogg Less than half of principal operators of US farms are under 55. Tonight we begin hearing how people in the new farmer pipeline are getting their start. Ken Fox is a new farmer working incubator farm plots in eastern Massachusetts. He and a partner still have fulltime jobs; they began with large home vegetable gardens and hope eventually to farm for a living. With resources at Tufts New Entry Sustainable Farming Project they're learning to scale up and will be matched with farmland. Noelle Fogg does this farmland matching for New Entry, and she describes very situation-specific needs of farmers and land owners. Hearing both sides shows how very much goes into recreating farms and farmers on the landscape.
