The basic concept of Keep Farming has its origins in an earlier Glynwood program called the Countryside Exchange. Under Glynwood’s auspices, teams of volunteer professionals from the U.S. and abroad make structured, week-long visits to selected small communities, helping residents and civic leaders grapple with issues such as conservation, economic development, and land-use planning.
