About the author

Julie Rawson is a lifelong farmer minus a 10-year stint in Chicago and Boston as a community organizer. Mother of four and grandmother to eight, active local musician, and ever the organizer and envelope-pusher, she loves to work with others on the farm and in the community to accomplish great things each day. She had a 35-year career as the lead staff for the Northeast Organic Farming Association/Mass Chapter. She feels blessed to be chief farmer at Many Hands Organic Farm and 47-year wife of Jack Kittredge.

Jack Kittredge worked for 17 years opposing the Vietnam War and organizing low-income communities. In partnership with three friends, he designed board games including Cosmic Encounter and DUNE. Jack met Julie Rawson in 1976, and they began a family and bought farmland in central Massachusetts, where Jack designed the passive-solar house and timber-frame barn that they then built themselves with help from a cast of family and friends. The couple runs an organic CSA farm that serves 150 families and has raised four active children. Jack edited The Natural Farmer, the newspaper of the Northeast Organic Farming Association, and served as policy director for NOFA/Mass for over 30 years. He wrote and published "Soil Carbon Restoration: Can Biology Do the Job?" in 2015.
