SILT has already matched two of its three farms, the latest in NE Iowa.
Farmer Will Lorentzen with his wife Adrian White, a freelance writer, moved to SILT’s third farm in Northeast Iowa last week.
Last week, Will Lorentzen and his wife Adrian White moved the last of their belongings to Garber (bumping Garber’s population up by more than 2 percent!) Will plans to farm by limiting his tillage footprint while still producing food for market, including shiitake mushrooms he is growing in the timber.
