“I think when you visit sites like Smithereen Farm and you see, wow, they’re able to grow food, they’re able to support these jobs, and support their local town’s economy, and they’re creating a habitat for pollinators — to me, that’s kind of the magic. That’s where we start to show people what the future can look like.”
