Hi Everyone,

The Progressive Radio Network is moving, so I got to choose a previously recorded interview to re-play this week. I had interviewed Elizabeth Henderson back in August of 2015, before I got to know her as a co-board member at NOFA-NY, (Northeast Organic Farming Assoc.) and as a dedicated advocate for social justice and food justice. I have been so moved by her dedication and tireless energy, that I wanted to bring her back on! Elizabeth farmed at Peacework Farm in Wayne County, New York, producing organically grown vegetables for the fresh market for over 30 years. She chairs the Policy Committee at NOFA-NY, and represents the NOFA Interstate Council on the Board of the Agricultural Justice Project. For 20 years, from 1993 – 2013, she chaired the Agricultural Development Board in Wayne County and took an active role in creating the Farming and Farmland Protection Plan for the county. In 2001, the organic industry honored her with one of the first “Spirit of Organic” awards, in 2007, Abundance Co-op honored her with the “Cooperating for Communities” award and in 2009 NOFA-NY honored her with a Lifetime Achievement Award and then a Golden Carrot in 2013. In 2014 Eco-Farm presented her with their “Advocate of Social Justice Award, the Justie.” Her writings on organic agriculture appear in The Natural Farmer and other publications, and she is the lead author of Sharing the Harvest: A Citizen’s Guide to Community Supported Agriculture (Chelsea Green, 2007). She also wrote A Food Book for a Sustainable Harvest for the members of Peacework Organic Community Supported Agriculture (aka GVOCSA) in its twenty seventh year in 2015.  

Elizabeth is an inspiration, and a role model of how one person can make such a difference. Please join me in celebrating her, and listen to our interview together.
