VT Edition: Small-scale farming

Thursday, 04/09/09

Jane Lindholm

VPR/Jane Lindholm

Small, diverse farms are a growing segment of Vermont's agricultural economy. Some are based on traditional models, like dairy, but others take advantage of new trends in farming, like Community Supported Agriculture. And many operated by people who make their living doing something else entirely.

VPR's Jane Lindholm talks with  Deputy Secretary of Agriculture David Lane, and Carl Russell, a small-scale farmer and board member of the farm advocacy organization Rural Vermont about the role that part-time farms have in Vermont's agriculture economy.
