“Support the people who who support the land. The revolution starts with us.” Neil Young

Farmers are asked to do a lot.

Produce our food. Protect natural resources. Adapt to changing weather. Navigate shifting markets. Invest in new practices. Keep farms productive and profitable, often while planning for the next generation.

If we want farmers to care for the land for the long term, they need systems that support them for the long term, too.

That means access to research, education, technical assistance, viable markets, and the resources to make changes without carrying all of the risk alone.

Supporting farmers isn’t separate from building a healthier food system. It’s where that work begins.

Celeste Farms Help us spread the word about the Farm Restaurant Act!
The goal is to create a clear, financially viable, and contextually sensitive path for farmers to prepare and serve the food they grow. The more feedback we can get from farmers before it goes to the General Assembly, the better.

A little more meaning, a little less mass-produced.

I’m working on a conscious gift-giving guide to help folks support their local farmers, artists, makers, shop owners, doers and dreamers this holiday season. 🧡

After more than 18 years at Polyface Farm, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with farmers, growers and shop owners around the world—people who pour their hearts into what they do and live with intention, creativity and a deep respect for the land.

I’d love to make this holiday season about more than just things. Let’s give gifts with a story, support the hands that make them, celebrate the people who grow them, sell them and put our dollars toward the communities and earth stewards making a difference every day. 🌱

Because the best gifts connect us—to the land, to one another, and to the people behind the things we love.

Who are some of your favorite artisans and/or shops?

There is something special about October in Visit Nelson County, VA 🍷🍂🔥

The mornings are crisp, the Blue Ridge begins to glow with autumn color, and the landscape takes on that unmistakable feeling that the seasons are changing. Across the vineyards, orchards and farms, another year of hard work is coming to fruition 🍇🍂🍷🔥

And there may be no better time to experience Nelson County 🍂🔥🍁

October is Virginia W**e Month, a statewide celebration of Virginia’s w**e industry that dates back to 1988. It is a time to raise a glass to the farmers, vineyard workers, w**emakers and communities that bring Virginia w**e from the vineyard to the table.

This October, come experience the harvest for yourself.

Follow the winding roads. Watch the mountains change color. Taste something made here. Meet the people who make Nelson 151 special🍂✨🔥✨🍁

Come for the w**e. Stay for the mountains. And celebrate the harvest in Nelson County 🍂🍷🍁🔥
