Farming a 1 1/4 Acre Farm
Robin is an organic vegetable farmer in Saanich. During her 10 years working the land, she's learned to love all veggies, even Brussel sprouts; she's learned to hate the WTO and transnational corporations that control the food system, and she's learned to look to her community for fun and to work for change. When she's not pulling carrots out of the ground, or turning compost, she's studying for her MA in Food Policy from UVic...or she might be riding her bike with her dog running beside.
