5 - Start with Community

Young farmers have it hard — it’s hard to buy land, and it’s hard to start something from scratch that tends to span generations. Add on setbacks like student debt, immigration and institutionalized discrimination, and you’ve got yourself a mountain to climb right from the beginning. Liz Brownlee cofounded the Hoosier Young Farmers Coalition in 2016 with the idea that all that can become just a little bit easier when you have friends to share the struggles and the rewards of starting a farm. Their monthly potlucks and impromptu music sessions took a hit when COVID struck, but they haven’t stopped advocating for each other and helping each other move forward. In this final episode of the summer series, Liz tells us what it means to be a young farmer today, and what keeps her going through the good times and the hard times. Follow Liz and Nate's farm at Nightfallfarm.com Learn more about the coalition at Hoosieryfc.org, and on Instagram at @hoosieryoungfarmers

4 - Feeding the Family

For Keith Nance, being superintendent at a rural school system doesn’t just mean keeping kids learning— it means keeping them fed, too. A central part of his school's mission is making sure students are getting what they need for success. In a district where 35-40% of families get free and reduced price lunch, a big part of that is giving them healthy food to keep them fueled up. When COVID hit, the school couldn’t distribute that food to kids at school the way it used to— so Mr. Nance and the school nutritionist Joni Muchler found a new way, with help from bus drivers, school staff, and community volunteers. And they didn’t stop at the school kids— they fed younger kids, parents and grandparents during the shutdown, to keep everyone going strong.

3 - Who Cuts Your Meat

Juan Ruffin has worked as a butcher at Kroger for 23 years. But this summer, he’s worked harder than he ever has before. When the shutdown hit, he kept on going in to work as an essential grocery store worker. And when folks had no place else to go, they went shopping. He talks about masking up, how he’s worked to protect his coworkers as a union steward, and what the Fourth of July and Juneteenth felt like this year while protests filled the streets.
