Part 1 | Building a Relationship Beyond Consumer. The Shape of "Self-Sustaining Agriculture" That SHO Farm Is Working Toward.
2024
● A long-form interview feature on the farm was published in greenz, an environmentally focused web media outlet.
The piece covers the story behind the farm's transition to no-till cultivation, as well as the feminist and social justice values that are inseparable from the farm's understanding of organic agriculture as a way of life. It's a rich and substantial read — we encourage you to set aside some time and take it all in.
