"Across the nation, a new agrarian movement, centered on food and land health, is growing into a dynamic force. Led by youth (including the young-at-heart) and their mentors, this burgeoning movement is tackling some of the most daunting challenges of our time: food security, land restoration, conservation, climate adaptation, and sustainable prosperity. In the process, they are overturning traditional paradigms of conservation and agriculture. In this Conference we heard from a wide variety of new farm, ranch and conservation leaders and their innovative, hands-on ideas and practices that are changing the way we look at the land, our water, and ourselves." Courtney White, Executive Director.
Dorn Cox - Tuckaway Farms - Lee, New Hampshire
"When it comes to agriculture in NH, we are like an underdeveloped country." So says Dorn Cox who is currently making a concerted effort to push farming squarely into the 21st century by building what he refers to as a "biological system" for his farm; it is a most singular system and very much a family enterprise.
By successfully integrating the disciplines of plant biology and environmental engineering, Dorn is constructing a near complete carbon cycle making the farm largely self sufficient, reducing production costs, and limiting off farm purchases.
Dorn Cox is a two-time NRCS Conservation Innovation Grant awardee. He has completed his 2006 grant for Farm-based Biofuel: Production, Storage, Co-generation and Education. He is a 2007 New Hampshire Young Farmer Achievement Award recipient.
My hats off to you for regenerating your land and working with the animals and mother earth within our environment. You are local for me, and I hope to see more of this in NH and Maine. I have been in the area of where Tuckaway Farms are, but had no idea of what you are about. It was a pleasant surprise to see you on Quivira Coalition today. Thanks for the recipes on your web page, very nice.
