"When I was six years old...we grew vegetables for the neighborhood, and then some. For me as young boy, I thought that was the neatest thing in the world, and it shaped my desire for a conscious choice of what I was going to do as I lived on this planet--and that was to be a producer."
Don Minto, Watson Farm, Jamestown, Rhode Island
"It's encouraging that young people are doing this, because young people have to be doing this.
Samantha Ross, Stone Barns Center, Pocantico Hills, New York
"I always give my son a hard time--when I was his age, people made fun of farmers--now people think you're amazing."
Brian Simmons, Simmons Farm, Middletown, Rhode Island
