We recently hosted a bevy of Clarke County friends and neighbors at Coal Stove Sink for an interview and book signing with local sustainable agriculture farmer and author Forrest Pritchard. Forrest and I spent a few minutes chatting about aspects of the book Gaining Ground, his life farming, and the big picture—making a living while farming in America.
Special thanks to Jack McGraw for filming, editing, and making this piece coherent. And thanks to all of our friends and neighbors who created a warm and welcoming community for Forrest’s debut as an author. Forrest, we’re proud of what you do and what you’re doing.
Thanks to Amy Barley for the photographs. Music Laura Lou by the Bitter Liberals.

Thanks for a great interview. I’ve been following Forest for a little while now as I find his regular emails very interesting. We face some of the same challenges over here in Australia and, although we thankfully haven’t gone as far down the road in regards to GM and Agribusiness yet, we are heading that way and need to do what we can locally to fight against this movement. I’ll need to find a bookstore that will ship the book over here.
