My definition for Sustainable Agriculture - "Farming/gardening that returns the land to it's original state in the long term, profits the farmer and creates a locally based, self-reliant food community." Fresh after completing my first online course from SARE (Sustainable Agriculture and Research Education), I realize how very little I know about sustainable agriculture. Great place to start.

Speaking of starting...I had my first in-person conversation with Sara and Jamie, the curly-headed sisters who started Fair Shares 8 seasons ago last week. It was delightful to learn their history, joys and pains and entry barriers. We walked away with new insights, creative ideas but no answers...yet!
