From Seclusion to a Global Agricultural Community

Agri-culture as the Foundation of Community · Part 1

At the global meeting of biodynamic farmers and spiritual land stewards, this lecture illuminates the theme “You never farm alone” through the story of Anna and Doug’s remote organic farm in the northern Great Plains. Amid extreme isolation, climate-related crop failures and economic pressure, they create a vast, species-rich “ocean of earth and sky” and develop new community-based models for financing the care of the land – inviting us to think anew about what agriculture, money and genuine connectedness can be.

A contribution by Anna Jones-Crabtree to the 2026 Agriculture Conference “You never farm alone”.
