Preserving Working Farms

A storytelling project where we produced communications materials to help preserve working farmland and educate eaters about the challenges farmers face when producing food for local markets.

The Preserving Working Farmland collection of stories was produced between 2015-2017 with organizations that are working to preserve working farmland and educate eaters about the challenges farmers face when producing food for local markets.
