Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States there is a tremendous amount of interest in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) among farmers, consumers, activists, and policymakers. Despite the attention garnered by CSA farms and the resurgence of local agriculture, relatively few studies have examined the livelihood opportunities for farmers within local agriculture. This paper takes a step in this direction, evaluating livelihoods for CSA farmers through in-depth interviews conducted in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts. Based on the principles early advocates set forth as goals of the CSA movement, the paper evaluates how CSA farmers are doing from the farmers' perspective. The paper finds that while CSA farmers are faring better than other farms across the United States and in the study region in terms of earned farm income, they still earn far less than the median national income of all households. Despite these income challenges, CSA provides broader social, ecological, and economic benefits to farming communities as a whole, with its focus on providing food for the community rather than producing mass commodities for the market. These non-market benefits are a significant source of well-being from the CSA farmers' perspective.

This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan Linnea Kallander grew up on a farm with cows, chickens, vegetables and cats. She was a 4-Her and showed her Guernsey cow 'Twinnie' and took ribbons for her chickens and vegetables in local fairs. A graduate of Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, Susan later discovered she liked writing stories. She combined the two and wrote and illustrated her first children's book, *Up in Smoke.* While she traveled for seven years in a big motor home with her husband, Larry Boomgaarden and cat, Godfrey, she became delighted with this beautiful, amazing America. She had to share her enthusiasm, so she wrote letters to her grandchildren.These are the basis for future Godfrey stories about America. Susan learned along the way that many children have no idea where their food comes from or how to choose good fruits and vegetables and how spectacular fresh picked produce tastes. In this story, *Godfrey Finds a Home, * an abandoned kitty cat is discovered up a tree in a meadow. He is welcomed into the farm family and finds out how food is grown and how it gets from farm to table.This is the beginning of his wonderful adventures."

Download or read book Farming While Black written by Leah Penniman and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Farming While Black is the first comprehensive "how to" guide for aspiring African-heritage growers to reclaim their dignity as agriculturists and for all farmers to understand the distinct, technical contributions of African-heritage people to sustainable agriculture. At Soul Fire Farm, author Leah Penniman co-created the Black and Latino Farmers Immersion (BLFI) program as a container for new farmers to share growing skills in a culturally relevant and supportive environment led by people of color. Farming While Black organizes and expands upon the curriculum of the BLFI to provide readers with a concise guide to all aspects of small-scale farming, from business planning to preserving the harvest. Throughout the chapters Penniman uplifts the wisdom of the African diasporic farmers and activists whose work informs the techniques described--from whole farm planning, soil fertility, seed selection, and agroecology, to using whole foods in culturally appropriate recipes, sharing stories of ancestors, and tools for healing from the trauma associated with slavery and economic exploitation on the land. Woven throughout the book is the story of Soul Fire Farm, a national leader in the food justice movement." --
