The 'grow your own food' movement is live and well, and more and more young people are getting in the game. Meet Becky Rushford who, at 29, is managing a farm in upstate New York.
"Rushford turned this dream into a sustainable business, researching and planning a farming system for a client. At the time of the interview, she was putting together a plan to raise chickens profitably.
She is also out in the field, working the land, in a solo operation. Currently, she is managing one-half acre of farmland in upstate New York for some clients who run a café, restaurant and grocery store in Brooklyn. They invested in the farm so they could have sustainable, regional crops to supply their businesses. The half acre may seem small, but it can produce more than 10 tons of produce, Rushford said."
