Addy Shreffler is a young but savvy farmer, who was an executive chef for several years before migrating into farming.  She is committed to spreading her farming knowledge so that people can learn how to grow their own food and eat seasonally. Also through teaching canning and preserving skills, Addy wants to aid consumers to self-sufficiency. 

Michael Chuisano is the owner of the Naked Farm in Marion, New York.  Several years ago, he morphed from a Brooklyn businessman into a successful bio-intensive farmer, raising micro-greens for local and restaurant consumption.

On Fire 2

With reports spanning from the ghostly Great Barrier Reef, to the annual smoke-choked skies of the Pacific Northwest, to post-hurricane Puerto Rico, to a Vatican attempting an unprecedented “ecological conversion,” Naomi Klein makes the case that we will rise to the existential challenge of climate change only if we are willing to transform the systems that produced this crisis.

An expansive, far-ranging exploration that sees the battle for a greener world as indistinguishable from the fight for our lives, On Fire captures the burning urgency of the climate crisis, as well as the fiery energy of a rising political movement demanding a catalytic Green New Deal.
