Molly Comstock is now overseeing Many Forks Farm.
Molly Comstock is now overseeing Many Forks Farm. Many from the Berkshires know her as the owner of Colfax Farm.  Molly’s passion and tenacity for farming and to be a farmer definitely comes through in her story. And her story has a significant focus on the issues surrounding farmers and land access 

Molly didn’t own her land and had to move her farmland and business a few times.  And, for a farmer who invests in their soil and farm infrastructure  and invests in  building a presence and feeding their local community , it’s not easy to find new land and just start over.

Land access and the ability to find a property that provides security to a farmer has become one of the most significant barriers to entry for farmers and wannabe farmers in America. 

Molly’s story is very interesting and takes you on her journey around finding land, land that she can actually feel secure on and build a long term business on, land that she knows will remain farmland well beyond her… 

My conversation with Molly is an important one as it is a real story,..and it serves up the complexities around leasing vs. owning farmland..and offers alternatives and opportunities for farmers today. Join me in exploring Molly’s story. And don’t forget to subscribe to our podcast and leave us a review!

My conversation with Jim Sanders, farmer from Wild
My conversation with Jim Sanders, farmer from Wildflower Lane Farm in NC, was far reaching.  HIs idea around having food advocacy groups who are purchasing produce from retailers and wholesalers shift those funds to pay local farmers to grow for them, has had a tremendous impact on many non profits in the North Carolina area. 

Another one of the non profit organizations that Jim’s idea has reached is called PORCH.  PORCH fights food insecurity by creating sustainable hunger relief programs at the local level. Started in 2010 in Chapel Hill, NC, PORCH has grown into a repeatable model of monthly neighborhood food drives and fresh produce distribution supplying food pantries, schools, and community programs across the country. PORCH’s volunteer network of 50 chapters in 12 states, has contributed more than $12 million dollars in hunger relief.

Porch’s flagship program called PORCH for Pantries consists of running monthly neighborhood food drives to supply non-perishable goods to local food pantries and families in need.  Porch has now  introduced PORCH Fresh which supplements the non-perishable goods with milk, eggs, meat, fruits and vegetables, and uses local farms like Jim’s to support this need. 

I had the pleasure of speaking with Nora Dicker, the Program Manager for PORCH Hillsborough and learning more about how they are connecting and collaborating to impact food security.  Enjoy my conversation with Nora!  And, again, I just want to thank Jim Sanders - as his idea around shifting funds to local farmers to supply local veggies and fruits has had such far reaching impacts… and I am hopeful that these interviews further impact that reach….

Jim Sanders, farmer from Wildflower Lane Farm in N
Jim Sanders, farmer from Wildflower Lane Farm in NC, had an idea about growing vegetables and finding a distribution partner for those vegetables.  In my podcast interview with Jim, he  told the story about walking into the office of a non profit called TABLE and proposing his idea to the women in the office. What struck me about that story was the fact that those women listened and took action immediately.  They were open to Jim’s idea and took him up on his offer to visit his farm, invest some funds, and take the risk that this could lead to a great opportunity for the people their non profit serves.

In 2006, Joy MacVane began leaving homemade cookies on the sidewalk of her downtown Chapel Hill home for UNC-CH students walking to campus. A year later, she began leaving notes by the goodies inviting students to stop by her house to bake desserts for the nearby soup kitchen. A dozen students showed up to make and deliver cakes. They discussed how much they enjoyed serving at the homeless shelter, expressed interest in local community service and identified hungry kids as a special priority. MacVane shared that concern and learned that there were no weekly food assistance services specifically for children at that time in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area. In late 2007, she and several of those original students incorporated Table Ministries, Inc., now known as TABLE.

Since  its start in 2008, TABLE has offered “a place at the TABLE” to increasing numbers of local children. Thanks to generous donations of food, funds, and time by campus and community supporters, TABLE has quickly grown.  And now, thanks to Jim’s idea, TABLE Is able to serve fresh, local healthy vegetables and fruits to local children. 

I wanted to speak to the woman, the decision maker, who listened to Jim’s idea on that day when he casually walked into the office and was open to exploring the opportunity with him.  Ashton Tippins, was that woman!  Visit the link in our bio and enjoy my conversation with Ashton Tippins.
