Edible Radio Victual Reality: Tom Philpott with Eliot Coleman

Posted By webeditor On May 26, 2011 @ 8:00 am In Garden & Agriculture | Comments Disabled

Eliot Coleman is one of the most innovative, successful, and influential small-scale farmers in the United States. Eliot runs [1] Four Seasons Farm in Maine, where he has become legendary for producing top-quality vegetables through Maine’s harsh winters. His books, which include [2] The Winter Harvest Handbook, and [3] Four Season Harvest, are considered bibles among farmers trying to extend their seasons in cold climates. But Eliot isn’t just a guru of the field and the greenhouse. He’s also an intellectual with a commanding grasp of the history of agriculture. In this edition of Victual Reality, the podcast about food politics, Eliot tells me how he came to farming; we also talk about organic farming’s historical roots and where it’s going next.
