The Fate of the Small Farmer

The American dream of forty acres and a mule has perhaps

never been more unattainable—or more necessary—

than it is today. Here in Mendocino, farmers are certainly better off

than in many parts of the country with our clean air, largely

uncontaminated soils, ample water supply, a relatively temperate climate with a long growing season, and a strong ethos of support for the small farm. We also have a uniquely varied climate suitable for producing a range of crops.
