At six, Anna Barnes was drafted into harvesting sweet corn for her family’s farmers market stand. Since then, she’s worked in nearly every facet of food production—as a farmer, waitress, baker, farm magazine editor, and, briefly due to Bush Recession I, as an ag chemical company p.r. flack. Since 1996, Prairieland CSA (http://www.prairielandcsa.org)  has been her penance and her joy. She currently provides media services for agricultural and environmental firms and nonprofits, and teaches cooking classes through Common Ground Food Cooperative.
