On April 6, Toni Farmer launched a new series on her popular Instagram account, where she teaches gardening. Farmer, who also teaches a course on sustainable agriculture at the University of Pennsylvania, calls it “The Plan,” with the subtitle “How we protect food access for our families and communities if this becomes a crisis.”
Then, with the urgent but reassuring delivery of an EMT responder, she promises help: practical tips on growing food in the backyard and planning meals, but also insights into the dynamics of a food system under stress—and the inestimable value of bonding with your neighbors.
“If we try to do this alone—if we just huddle up and take care of our own family, this will be much harder to get through. This is the time for community . . . How can we make sure everyone eats through this, and not just us?” she asks.
