Jack Kittredge

Jack Kittredge worked for 17 years opposing the Vietnam War and organizing low-income communities. In partnership with three friends, he designed board games including Cosmic Encounter and DUNE. Jack met Julie Rawson in 1976, and they began a family and bought farmland in central Massachusetts, where Jack designed the passive-solar house and timber-frame barn that they then built themselves with help from a cast of family and friends. The couple runs an organic CSA farm that serves 150 families and has raised four active children. Jack edited The Natural Farmer, the newspaper of the Northeast Organic Farming Association, and served as policy director for NOFA/Mass for over 30 years. He wrote and published “Soil Carbon Restoration: Can Biology Do the Job?” in 2015.
