Meet Felicia
Hobby Farms
|November - December 2022
Did you know that you could get free technical assistance for your small farm from the National Center for Appropriate Technology (www.ncat.org)?
Felicia Bell knows that, because she's a sustainable agriculture specialist who does just that for farmers in the Gulf States region. As a fourth-generation Mississippi farmer, Bell grew up learning "traditional agriculture" on her family's self-sufficient homestead. She works today to encourage other farmers - including her sons in their family business, RD & S Farm - to have this same care for the land.
HOBBY FARMS: Tell us about the National Center for Appropriate Technology and your work there.
BELL: The NCAT Gulf States Regional Office helps farmers in sustainable agriculture and sustainable energy within Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
