Choosing to Farm: New Generation Stories

"I get a lot of people saying, you're living my dream life. I'm so jealous. I know it's a compliment. But I'm not living your dream life. I'm living my dream life. And I know what it comes with. I know all the s-h-i-t it comes with. And it's still my dream. But for most people it's not. It's not their dream."

Former vegan and marketing communications professional Katie Steere was 2,000 miles and ten years away from her family's longtime-shuttered farm in Rhode Island. A TED talk convinced her to give two weeks' notice, hike the Pacific Crest Trail, intern at Polyface Farm, and move home to rebuild her family’s farm. After four years spent investing everything to bring it back, Katie was told the farm was sold to her brother. Devastated, she was on the verge of quitting it all when she happened upon a land linking opportunity that changed her life.
