Buy garlic, save farmland!
Earlham alumni Dan Hobbs and Allison Kinsey have an opportunity for you to be part of protecting the Earth this Earth Day! Dan has been a top-notch organic farmer and leader of various sustainable agricultural nonprofit organizations for the last 20 years. He’s trying to protect prime farmland from development by buying the family farm adjacent to his farm to keep it in active agricultural use. Dan and Allison are funding the land acquisition by selling shares of their exceptional organic heirloom garlic. The farm grows several stunning varieties–Music Pink (try it for the name alone!) Romanian Red, etc. They’re asking folks to buy a 3-year share or 1/2 share, which means you’ll be shipped a mix of all the varieties they grow each year.
