To mark the beginning of the Common Ground fair, we speak with the author of Foodtopia. It’s the story of five back-to-the-land movements, from 1840 to present day, when large numbers of utopian-minded people in the United States took action to establish small-scale farming as an alternative to mainstream agriculture. Panelists: Margot Anne Kelley, author, Foodtopia. VIP Caller: Sen. Stacy Brenner, organic farmer; board member, Maine Organic Famers and Gardeners Association; senior advisor for land access at Maine Farmland Trust.
