The most recent edition includes an article by Farmer John himself who was invited to write about some folks in Indiana. These folks returned to the family farm and are making it raising and selling grass-fed beef and lamb, chicken and eggs, as well as milk from their cow share program. The article focuses primarily on their experience with sheep and contains some excellent marketing advice.
Farming Magazine is a magazine that is worthy of reading. Some of the regular contributors include Wendall Berry and Gene Logsdon, to give you and idea of the type of writing that can be found in the magazine. If you are famliar with thesse gentlemen, you can assume accurately that one would not find any encouragement (even along the lines of advertising) to embrace any tupe of the big industrial ag mindset in regards to farming in this publication. They very much support small family farms that are sustainable.

Hi!
Great article! I read the whole thing. It would be neat to go to that farm just to OBSERVE. It sounds like they're really figuring things out.

It is a great farm
They are doing a great job and they have a great location for it. This year they were even able to have an intern which is great for them in that it helps with the labor aspect. Plus, it helps the intern learn first-hand how to do it.
Blessings,
Lisa
