Nature Change has been checking in with farmers throughout the region about our changing climate and invasive species. This very short video features organic vegetable farm owners, Jim Schwantes and Judy Reinhart. Together, they operated a community supported agriculture (CSA) business in Leelanau County for over 15 years. The Sweeter Song Farm continues to sell produce to restaurants and stores in the region – in season.
In this short Witness Statement, Jim and Judy reflect on one of the challenges facing vegetable farmers in our region: ย providing sufficient water to their crops.
