Episode 254: Jason Angell and Jocelyn Apicello

Episode Summary

Todays guests on Greenhorns Radio, Jason Angell and Jocelyn Apicello, came to farming later in life, transitioning from white collar jobs in NYC. They learned most of their methods on a small farm in Patagonia, Argentina and moved back to family land to start Longhaul Farm in 2011. They are a micro-farm (with one acre in vegetables, three in livestock, and a CSA of fifty families) -- a model that they believe is accessible to those who want to grow their own food and live more sustainably. They believe the current food movement is incredibly hopeful; the start of a rising ecological consciousness that can be a springboard for a movement to promote progress across many sectors of our society - and this is what the Ecological Citizens Project is all about. andnbsp;
