Didn't most of us fantasize about becoming farmers at some point when we were little kids? The image of the classic farm danced in our little heads: red barn, chickens running around, baby animals, riding tractors... But who really grows up and becomes a farmer? As adults we know it's long, arduous work for little reward.
Well, a good friend of my husband's started a little one acre farm, Fresh Earth Gardens, about a year ago. He's part of a small revolution in the farming industry, a revolution that is growing stronger. The vegetables on David Knaus' farm in La Center, Washington are not just tasty and natural, they are grown with the kind of care and love for the land that large, corporate farms just can't compete with. He also offers classes, a CSA (community supported agriculture - sort of a farm version of a "jam-of-the-month club"), and farm and garden consulting. His delicious produce is available at farmer's markets throughout the Portland/ Vancouver area, through the CSA program, and at many local restaurants.
