What's For Dinner?

Nathan Holmes helped found and manages a growers' coop among mostly Amish farmers in Pennsylvania. It's a community of family farms using practices that protect the soil and watershed. The coop lets them farm and not worry about distribution. They can satisfy markets by offering a diversity of crops - and at the same time seek to maintain "a natural agrarian family life and facilitate direct personal experiences of connection between customer, farmer, and land". It sounds like many peoples' dream if they were to farm, but it's a story of regular people who found each other and kept taking the next step. It seems to reflect what's possible today.
