Nature Revisited

Episode 104: Scott Chaskey - Soil and Spirit


Listen Later

Scott Chaskey is a farmer, poet, and pioneer of the international Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) movement. Weaving together his passion for farming and prose, Scott has penned multiple books on the community farming movement, creating a road-map for Americans who want to live off the land as a community. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Scott recounts the formative events of his life which led him to his love of gardening, farming, and the land - experiences recounted in his collection of essays 'Soil and Spirit'. From Maine to Cornwall, England, planning rotations of fields and tending to crops and their ecosystems, Chaskey cultivated a longstanding commitment to food sovereignty and organic farming with a belief that humble attention to microbial life and diversity of species provides invaluable lessons for building healthy human communities.
