NOTABLE MENTIONSCULTIVATING FARMERS After six years of operating a profitable organic vegetable farm on Austin’s “upper east side,” owners Erin Flynn and Skip Connett of Green Gate Farms have founded a nonprofit organization to meet a need for training, education and resources for beginning farmers. The mission of New Farm Institute (NFI) is to educate, assist and inspire a new generation of sustainable farmers, with a focus on the urban fringe —an area within 30 miles of medium to large cities. In addition to numerous classes, workshops, camps and events, the Institute has created an Incubator Farm for beginning professional farmers in Central Texas. NFI also explores emerging markets for new farmers, particularly in the field of public health. The Sponsored Share program is one example of the links possible between business, local farmers and disease prevention. Learn more at newfarminstitute.org |
