Contrary to popular belief, a good living can be made on an
organic farm. What's required is farming smarter, not harder.
Farmer Richard Wiswall is here to tell the world it's possible
to start an organic farm, enjoy it, and make a profit. Like any
other business, organic farming has ups and downs. But Wiswall
(who's been farming in Vermont for 27 years) offers a hopeful
and useful model to ensure a sustainable business that puts some
money in the bank.
He says: "My goal is to see more happy, prosperous farmers. I
see too many farmers work too hard for little money and burn out
because of it. I would love it that farmland shouldn't compete
for developments because developments pay more. I want it that
farms remain in farmland because it's economically viable to do
so. And I think that's the way it should be."
Chelsea Green recently produced an original video to introduce
readers to this organic farmer and author.
