Farm (and other F words) with Sarah K Mock

Why do we love the idea of small family farms? Our guest, Sarah K Mock says it’s because we’ve been told the stories about family farms from an early age through nursery rhymes and picture books. But does that bucolic ideal exist? Sarah provides an agriculture insider’s critique of the romantic agrarian ideal of the small family farm. She lays bare the shortcomings of that narrative — not all is as virtuous as it seems. In this thought-provoking conversation, Mock challenges the many conceptions about farming and farmers and asks the hard questions about the viability of the current systems.SHOW NOTES:www.femalefarmerproject.org/the-podcast/2021/11/2/farm-and-other-f-words-with-sarah-k-mockLETS CONNECT:www.twitter.com/femalefarmerswww.instagram.com/rootedinthevalley/www.facebook.com/FemaleFarmerProject/www.femalefarmerproject.org
