I just had the great fortune to tour Shelburne Farms last week with NOFA organizer Jean Hamilton, who was able to entice Program Director Megan Camp out of her office for a few minutes to show off her amazing educational/working farm. Megan seems to be one of those inspirational leaders who make it look so easy. She and NOFA Executive Director Enid Wonnacott share that attitude; because of women like this creating a food system for people’s health and community (rather than massive corporate profit) seems doable.
Now I read Shelburne Farms has another project going; sharing the sheep (not shearing) with the University of Vermont campus. As long as the sheep don’t have to costume in period sheep’s clothing to participate in the re-enactments during the historical tours….
