Covid Comes to The Farm

Details the drama of Covid’s impact on The Farm Community, and how we handled it. Especially strong on how The Farm’s response was both unique, based on our characteristic ways of sorting through our differences, and yet similar to, and caught up in, broader conflicts in Tennessee, America and the world. Sees community as part of the solution, but not separate from the larger picture. Also deals with generational differences in approach to the virus, how ideas spread (the horseshoe) and science is politicized . . .
