    “farmer, poet, activist, conservationist, community builder — Berry is a go to in these unacceptable times where everything feels optimized to be bought and sold and touching grass is more of actual life advice than mere meme. this new yorker piece on his relevance from 2022 is a nice start to then wander through his writings like a stroll through nature.”
