Hipster farmers

Looks like my Michael Pollan reference wasn't too far afield: this article refers to Pollan as inspiring a generation of small scale farmers. They sound like neo-hippies, like my friend Austin out in Oakland but with access to land.

And who knows? Things may work out for them: if the Slow Food movement actually increases demand for sustainably raised food, then these folks may just be on to something. Certainly the last decade or two have seen the explosion in popularity of the farmer's market: could this be the next wave?
