Read some stories from the farm!
A core foundation to sustainable agriculture is that it must viably produce enough food to accommodate a given population. The first way sustainable agriculture aids our quality of life is by ensuring we will all have enough to eat.
From the backyards of rented houses and the fence-line between commercial properties, to nearly an acre of city easement on a property some friends were tired of mowing, Sown & Grown has farmed wherever we can find, because without a farm there is no farmer.
For more than 20 years, Cath Conlon has been stewarding the land at Blackwood Educational Land Institute. Without her vision, we’d be nowhere. To celebrate her passion and success, and show the world how we plan to keep moving forward, we’re starting a series about Cath’s vision and what she’s up to on The Land.
No matter if local food has been in your life for years of if it’s just now on your radar, if you’re looking to support local and sustainable agriculture in the new year, there are many things you can do.
