Superstars are Farmers, Too

By

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.
