Looking to Ecology to Build a Cooperative Farm Future with Andrew Adamski of Full Circle Community Farm
Andrew Adamski, or walkie talkie callsign gopher, is one of the farmer owners of Full Circle Community Farm in Wisconsin, the land of coops in the US. He came back to his generations old family farm in 2017 after college, along with his now wife heather, to not only continue the family farming tradition, but diversify both its production and membership. He talks about his returning to the farm, their simplified and flexible business structure, using what he learned about ecology to develop the farms ownership/membership model, and that you don't have to have it all figured out to begin to include other members of the farm in the decision-making process. Heather, his wife, is the manager of the Slo-Farmers Coop, a farmer marketing cooperative of eight small farms providing a free choice, direct to consumer CSA, and we get into how that evolved over time, took off during covid, and how keystone farms can leverage their production capacity to not only sell more produce, but make space for beginning and specialty farmers, as well. They, and I mean the now five farmer owners of fun circle community farm, were awarded the marbleseed farmers of the year award in 2024. If your interested in hearing more about what they are doing, both Andrew and Heather will be presenting at Marbleseeds 2025 conference happening February 20th through the 22nd.

Looking to the past to move decentralized regional food systems forward with Lexi close of Appalachia regional cooperative development
Welcome back to Collab Farm, the podcast where we talk about all the ways small- and mid-scale farmers can work together, even in big $10 million food system rebuilding kinds of ways. Like this conversation that I had with Lexi Close from Appalachia Regional Cooperative Development and the Appalachia Producers Co-op. Now, Lexi is involved with much of the work going on in a cooperative beef processing facility that's currently under construction in Washington County, Eastern Tennessee. We get into how the project got started from the initial idea to the feasibility studies to raising such a large amount of capital. We also get into how the membership works, including some collective marketing opportunities for local producer members for the Eastern Tennessee region, and what these decentralized processing networks look like as much as 100 years ago, what we lost in centralization And how they can serve as a model for building them back.

A Simple Cooperative Farm Model & a Short History of Modern Co-ops w/ Chris Bodnar of Close to Home Organics
I'm going to be real honest with you, I've been working hard lately. If you're listening to this, I bet you've been working hard, too. Case in point, I JUST got our garlic in the ground in down here in zone 7, but better late than never I suppose. So, I thought I'd seize this opportunity to bring back an old episode, the very FIRST episode of collaborative farm, actually, a conversation I had with Chris bonder of Close to Home Organics and Glen Valley Farm. This one still comes to mind as one of the best collab farm episodes ever and now that we're reaching a wider audience, I wanted to give it the opportunity to reach more listeners. Chris is not only stellar farmer and a part of a cooperative farm framework, he's extremely well versed in the history of modern farm cooperatives.

Growing on Principles: Soil Health, Farmer Health, and Community Health... An OAK Field Day w/ Jackson Rolett
In the spirit of collaboration, I'm gonna do something a little different. A couple weeks ago I did a field day with OAK--that's the Organic Association of Kentucky--If you're listening to this and live in Kentucky you should totally be a member. We and acouple of dozen other farmers and farm professionals walked through our gardens. We talked about the conservation practices we're currently using on our market garden along with some of the lessons learned and fielded some questions. Before the talk, last minute, I decided to put on a wireless mic and record it so that we could share it with all of you. Now, I know it's not going to be as good as being there in person and some things you just have to see. My thought is that, again, in the spirit of collaboration, you all could share the tour via audio on your own time and maybe, just maybe, glean a little something from it. Mentioned in the show...

Coordinated Crop Planning with Emma Busby from Southeast Tennessee Young Farmers
Emma Busby used to be the former Chapter Coordinator for the Southeast TN Young Farmers and has since moved on to be a board member of the Alabama Sustainable Agriculture Network. We met back at the '23 TN Local Food Summit whose focus that year was "cultivating cooperation" and she had some really interesting work and insights to share, particularly some work she facilitated with a group of small-scale farmers around coordinated crop planning (CCP) and building aggregation systems from the ground up rather than the top down.

Big Team Farms w/ Sarah K. Mock
Sarah K. Mock has written two books that I absolutely love and have had a profound effect on how I view my own farming outside of just growing better carrots, Farm and Other F Words and Big Team Farms, about how we can begin to chart a path forward by… you guessed it… working together. She has a substack, People Eat the Land, and a much better podcast than this one, The Only Thing That Lasts.
