About

Monoculture, monopoly, cheap food and poor diets-- these are the consequences of an agricultural system gone awry, driven by policy and corporate control. Here we are, unhealthy. Re-orienting our food system is a project worth tackling, and the young farmers in THE GREENHORNS have chosen to become a part of the solution, addressing the crisis they see by learning the skills needed, and starting the kinds of businesses that, one by one, can replace complicated, entrenched systems.

"Fleming's story telling ability is top notch, and her inclusion of a wide variety of greenhorns - men, women, black, white, younger, older, urban, rural - reveals that the urge to cultivate and create in concert with nature is in our natures, just waiting to be born."
Lindsay Curren, Transition Voice
