The Cornell Small Farms Program is pleased to announce the arrival of the Winter 2020 edition of the Small Farms Quarterly.

In this issue, we feature stories about a veteran’s career change into farming, a young farmer’s journey into mushroom cultivation (published in both English and Spanish) and a how-to rate your record-keeping system, complete with tips to improve.
