About this Talk

In a time when “too big to fail” is a cultural mantra, perhaps “too big to operate” is equally valid. Paradigms exceed their efficiency. In farming, small is beautiful for many reasons and in today’s climate, the advantages are compounding by the day. From being more bio-secure to more neighbor friendly, small farms are perhaps more viable and needed today than ever before. Rather than brushing off small farms, let’s celebrate and honor their distinct contributions.
