Meet Laurie Sykes, Organic Farmer
It was only five years ago that Laurie Sykes decided to
v.
to receive something from a person who has died
inherited
become an organic farmer. She had inherited eighty acres of
land from her grandfather, a lifelong farmer. “I didn’t know
anything about farming then,” Ms. Sykes noted. “I was an
English major in college. I knew nothing about soil quality,
watering plants, or growing seasons. I spent a year doing
research. I learned everything I know from books and the
Internet.”
