For over a year JEM has been developing a relationship with a small, local farm. I (Lee) had gotten to know farmer Byron at the local farmers market plus two visits to the farm. It became clear that we shared the sense that land is sacred. Tending land, soils, and healthy local food systems are an important part of living Jubilee, but efforts to connect with a local farmer had been slow. Recently, collaboration began moving ahead.
