It’s the end of May. I’m wearing a down jacket, fleece-lined leggings, waterproof pants and a rain poncho for a mostly outdoor workshop on no-till methods for “low-maintenance, climate resilient, bountiful gardens and farms,” at Seeds of Solidarity Farm and Education Center in Orange, Mass. Deb Habib and Ricky Baruc have been farming and teaching carbon farming and gardening here for more than two decades. It will be 46 degrees, windy, rainy—and I want to be here.
Just two days ago the temperature reached into the 90s and it will soon soar again. Five other participants have come to learn no-till methods, to become part of the solution to reverse climate change.
How can small-scale farmers and gardeners make a difference?
