That is sad to hear, that Alison is no longer with us. She and Paul accepted an invitation to come to Illinois and speak at our annual Fruit and Veg conference about their High-Tunnel work. They gave a great presentation, showing how attention to detail can
really improve the output of crops in High Tunnels. She always had great things to share on Market Farming as well.

One thing I wanted to share with market-farming, a few years ago we lost of a real pioneer in market farming in Kentucky and high tunnel production in the South, Alison Wiediger .
Paul and Alison Wiediger of Au Naturel Farm wrote Walking into Spring: Using High Tunnels to Grow Produce 52 weeks a Year.
Social media is a good source, too. It's just that's its more temporal in nature with sketchy archives.
Then again, we also lost the archives to the SANET email list when it went defunct.
Crazy, but SSAWG - Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group folded after 30 years, partly due to Covid since the conference was a central part of its finances. A lot of great sustainable market farming technology sharing and networking took place at SSAWG.
OK, on a positive note, market farming has grown into a modern ag profession. The tools and know-how have never been better since it started it started growing with the Farmers Market revolution in the 1980s along with Eliot Coleman's book.
