THINKING ABOUT FARMING? THINK AGAIN.

There's a new way to farm. It's called SPIN, and it is causing people to re-think not only how to farm, but what it means to be a farmer today.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Courtesy of SPIN farmer Suzanne A., Waste-Not-Gardens, Waukegan, IL:  I sell wheatgrass by the tray (freshly cut),  and I also juice it up at farmer's markets. I also sell wheatgrass fusion drinks. I sell it for pets and also floral arrangements. Very versatile crop.

  • Some practice SPIN in their backyards in the city. Others do it on front lawns in the suburbs.
  • Some do it part-time, others full-time.
  • Some are young and just starting out, while others are older and on their third or fourth careers.
  • Some have more money than they know what to do with, and others have less than they need.
  • Some are convinced the world is doomed, while others are trying to save it.

What unites them all is a calling to farm.

If you want to follow your calling, follow the system that launched the small plot farming industry.
