The Natural Farmer Seeks Fall Issue Submissions
July 4, 2023
The Natural Farmer, the newspaper of the Northeast Organic Farming Assocation (NOFA), seeks story and article submissions for the upcoming Fall issue. This season’s theme is “Scaling Up, Scaling Back.”
For some, expanding a farm business is a slow and steady process of planning and reflection; for others the only way is to go all-in, right from the start ⏤ even if this means taking on major debt. There are so many ways to scale-up!
What advice do you have about growing your farm? How do you define your success? What mistakes did you make scaling up? The Natural Farmer would love to hear your story. Interested writers can learn more on their website.
Submission Deadline: August 1st
