In the Winter 2009 issue of The Piedmont Virginian, we profiled local farmers Chip and Susan Planck of Wheatland Vegetable Farm along with Attila Agoston and Shawna DeWitt, who farm Mountain View Farm at the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship. This weekend The Washington Post Magazine profiles the Plancks in an article called “Growing Season,” which takes a look at the 20-somethings who work at Wheatland, aspiring to start their own organic farms one day. Some young farmers, like Lisa and Ali Moussalli of Frog Bottom Farm, once leased land from the Plancks at Wheatland.
