Superstars are Farmers, Too

February 25, 2010 By newwestfarmers

American ski champion Bode Miller is not only super duper famous right now for winning a gold, a silver, and a bronze at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, he’s also a credit to farming and the preservation of buying local produce. Right after he won the 2005 World Championship, he went and bought the farm – literally. He still runs his own farm and sells direct.

Bode Miller thinks farming is cool. So should you.

(Excuse the overt Stonyfield advertising in this video – they are obviously a sponsor):

PS: Thanks to PHD in Parenting for the video tip.

Our market is grateful to operate on the unceded land of the Qayqayt, Kwikwetlem, and other Halkomelem speaking Peoples. We acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and connections to the land. We acknowledge the incredible gift this land is to our market and BC Agriculture. We commit to the ongoing work of decolonization and allyship.
