Future after the Farm by Jens Perrin
The Food Bank Farm provided 35,000 pounds of fresh produce to the Bellingham Food Bank in the 2012 harvest season alone. After seven years of operating, the farm is closing to allow more funds to go into bulk purchasing of foods.
Organics Start with Seeds by Khalics Bryant
Techno Farming by Mary Lyle
Farm Fresh by Elizabeth Midgorden
Bovine Harvest by Dan Langager
Whatcom dairy farmers participate in the world-wide market of selling cow herds’ genetics. Bovine embryos from the county have appeared in over 25 countries all over the earth. Some farmers keep their genetics in house and advance the farm’s productivity.
The Perfect Berry by Katy Verwest
Growing Cloud Mountain by Susanne Longanecker
Ghost in the Soil by Carla Galland
In 2009 and 2010 herbicides accidentally traveled from hay fields, through cows, into manure and sold as compost to farmers who unknowingly spread the contaminated compost on their crops. Tomatoes, beans, and sunflowers were among the plants damaged most.
