Michael Ableman’s talk details…
Coming Home; growing food, jobs, and hope in times of trouble:
Michael Ableman will travel from Vancouver to share with us his personal and agricultural journey around the world, told through powerful photographic images and storytelling. Michael will share an intimate story of recovery—of land, food, and of people, and the power of farming and nourishing others as a way to heal our ourselves and our world. Michael is the author of several books, including: Street Farm: Growing Jobs, Food, and Hope on the Urban Frontier; From the Good Earth: A celebration of growing food around the world; On Good Land: The autobiography of an urban farm; and Fields of Plenty: A farmer’s journey in search of real food and the people who grow it. Michael is also featured in several documentaries.
Kristin & Mark Kimball’s talk details…
Mark and Kristin Kimball will travel from New York State where they run Essex Farm on 1000 acres and have created a year-round food supply for their region. Driven by desires to nurture both community and agricultural diversity, they will share stories about how creating a new farm on abandoned farmland gave rise to dozens of other farms in the region. They will explore the important work of developing skills in new farmers, supporting the growth of farms in a region, and developing a community that understands, values and supports its local food system. Kristin is the author of The Dirty Life and Good Husbandry, and has been featured in the New York Times and on NPR.
Join us in welcoming these storytellers, these legends, these superstar farmers to Boulder!
