Mark Ungar, farmer

Reported by Hazel Kahan
Produced by Tony Ernst

Mark Ungar is a man with vision and determination, who walks his talk and who truly believes in what he is doing.

He is a farmer who has created a model of farming designed to liberate people from dependence on others and to teach them how independence and sustainability are achievable—for them, in this lifetime!

His vision is that of an eco-system that is also an economic and educational system that includes volunteers, individual households, farmers, restaurants, farm stand owners, teaching them how to do everything from growing their own heirloom tomatoes from seed to building their own solar panels and processing their own biodiesel. He believes we can all begin to live an organic, sustainable life, right here and now.

Mark spoke to us from Manhattan but you can find him and learn from him in the fields of the East End’s Mattituck every weekend.

Listen here.
