Klaas and Mary-Howell Martens, of Lakeview Organic Grain, in Penn Yan, New York, grow a variety of grains, including wheat, spelt, barley, oats and triticale, plus peas, dark red kidney beans and edamame soybeans, along with raising livestock on about 1,400 acres. Their family farm philosophy entails looking at the world through a lens of abundance, rather than scarcity, and working in cooperation with their neighbors instead of in competition. The result has been a groundswell of thriving organic farmers and a renewed sense of community and economic strength throughout their region. The Martens switched to organic farming after Klaas experienced partial paralysis due to exposure to pesticides, compounded by concern for the health of their three children. Because the Martens work in alliance with nature, they’ve learned to ask a unique set of questions. For example, when Klaas sees a weed, he doesn’t ask, “What can we spray to kill it?” but, “What was the environment that allowed the weed to grow?”

for nearly three decades, as a crew member and then a captain in the Copper River and Bristol Bay fi sheries. During that time, Mosness became a passionate advocate for protecting coastal com- munities and ecosystems. “Like farm families on land, fi shing families face many risks and uncertain-


ties,” but she believes, “political forces may be even more damaging to our livelihoods and wild fi sh.” For example, “We are replicating some of the worst practices of factory farming on land in our marine environment with diseases, parasites and voluminous amounts of pollution fl ushing into our coastal waters,” explains Mosness. She’s also concerned about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s potential approval of genetically-engineered (GMO) fi sh without adequate health and environmental assessments, and she works to support GMO labeling so consumers can make informed choices in the marketplace.
