It’s been a while since I blogged about our local farming community. A link this morning to a blog about women farmers which is highlighting Nora Crist of Clark’s farm made me think about creating this post.
A few years back I worked on a program out at the Conservancy. Many of the farmers were young, which is a great thing for us. Lowering that age.
It is great to see that enthusiasm and drive.
Besides those farmers I can think of others that are building their businesses in the area. Like Dave and Lydia Liker of Gorman, and Chuck and Nancy Gardetto at Copper Penny. Jen and Jamie at TLV Tree Farm.
Casey and Jason at Breezy Willow.
Can’t forget Courtney and John Dove at Love Dove Farm.
Can you think of others? I know that Alan is working with his parents at Sharps Farm.
Bowling Green. Carroll Farm to Table. Greenway Farms. All of these farms have a younger generation working them. Check them out. Our local dollars make them successful.

John and Courtney from Love Dove Farm are young farmers whom I remember from that informative event at the Conservancy.
I had their web site open on my tabs. I forgot to put them in the post. I did fix it. We certainly can’t forget John and Courtney.
