Hub’n Spokes – Ken Rapoport and Nick Miniter

Over 125 new farm 'spokes' are being established in New England around the Azuluna Farms hub.  It's a model that could be replicated where new farmers are needed when current farmers are aging out and scale required today puts farming out of reach for most who would love to jump in. Ken Rapoport is co-founder and farmer at Azuluna Farms. He was a  successful technology entrepreneur for most of his career and is now dedicated to building a more humane, sustainable, and healthy future for people, animals, and the land through sustainable farming.  A departure from the traditional food systems, Azuluna bolsters regional economies with a holistic model that benefits the land, animal welfare, consumer health, and community wellness. Azuluna's regenerative farming network also makes higher quality, locally sourced/raised foods available to those who are trying to eat more sustainably. Ken and Nick Miniter, Azuluna's Director of Ag Operations takes us from Spokes to Hub to Tables. www.azulunafoods.com     www.azulunafarms.com
