Hunger Farm
At a farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, fresh food is being harvested to feed the hungry. It looks like a lot of other produce farms, with rows of pepper, tomato and cucumber plants. But nothing harvested here goes to market. Retired government worker Bob Blair owns the 26 hectares of land, but leases it to the Volunteer Farm of Shenandoah for $1 a year. "I woke up one morning and there was the idea firmly implanted in my head with all of the details, including the name, 'Volunteer Farm,'" he says. A manager and a volunteer coordinator are the farm’s only paid staff. As its name suggests, the farm relies on volunteers to weed, plant and harvest.
