The Cornell Small Farms Program is pleased to announce the arrival of the Summer 2025 edition of the Small Farms Quarterly.

In this issue, we feature the fruit tree knowledge the Farm Ops veteran cohort has gained, highlight the collaboration retired farmer Tom Hutson cultivated with Sea Matías and his surrounding community, and an exploration of the Cornell Agricultural Systems Testbed and Demonstration Site’s “Farm of the Future”.

You can read articles from the Summer 2025 Quarterly online now. Or if you’d rather flip through the articles in a magazine format, take a look at our online reader to peruse this issue or feel free to download the PDF version of the Quarterly.
