Greenhorns works nationally and locally to create a welcoming and hospitable culture for new entrants in regenerative agriculture. We produce cultural and educational media, programming and publications including the New Farmer’s Almanac, as well as films, radio and the occasional art stunt. Our summer programs and projects address the practical and social concerns of those living close to the land. We emphasize agroecology, skill-building, networking and intersectional dialogue, and working to repair this landscape we share. Visit us at greenhorns.org to learn more!
