The newest volume of the eclectic biannual anthology from
Greenhorns, a grassroots network for recruiting, promoting, and
supporting new American farmers. The New Farmer's Almanac Volume
VI: Adjustments and Accommodations seeks to recognize our own
collective agency in the face of sizable uncertainties. The
morphing climate, ongoing culture of land dispossession, continuing
global pandemic, shifting and intensifying weather patterns, and
migrations of all species—spurned by political and environmental
upheaval—are considered within. There is adaptability in each
bloom of algae; tiny particles of inspiration can enliven lives and
farm systems; the natural currents and connected sentience of the
living earth moves genetic material. Dynamic flux and rapid change
remain possible. The power of the forces—the river, the
wind—are summoned and given thanks, like our ancestors did. Here,
we tune to the potential of the commons. Contributors from around
the Earth reflect on natural systems, logistics of change,
localization, resource sharing, and preservation; we eye new
experiments in planting, seed breeding, and composting. The past is
contextualized by the present, informing our ideas for the future.
Climate grief and cognitive dissonance are examined among
imaginations of urban food systems and equitable access. Readers
are invited to envision tweaks to the carbon cycle; to see
intercropping as a life practice and sharing dinner as an embodied
preservation of cultural foodways. This compendium of ideas,
strategies, and arguments honors the almanac tradition in featuring
archival and contemporary words and artwork. Photos, maps, prints,
drawings, and gems from the archives rest—and agitate—among
personal essays, reports from the field, poetry, and interviews.
Join us in exploring resilience, responsiveness, adaptation, and
accommodation. Featured contributors include: Fallen Fruit
