Know Your Farmer: Michael Protas at One Acre Farm in Maryland
Michael Protas is a perfect example of an aspect of farming that can get overlooked: community. Michael says he fell in love with the idea of building a community, working for himself, working outside, and doing something meaningful — after all, people need to eat.
