Why Did This Farm Survive Vermont’s Extreme Floods?

From PBS Terra.

In July 2023, historic flooding swept across Vermont, devastating farms and testing the resilience of the land. This episode follows Corie Pierce of Bread & Butter Farm as she reveals how more than a decade of regenerative farming helped their fields withstand extreme rainfall. At the heart of the story is a simple truth: the healthier the soil, the more resilient the land.

Corie’s work is a reminder that farming is not just food production — it is the caretaking of the land, and in turn, the communities that rely on it. By asking what it truly means to be a land steward, she reimagines the responsibility we all share for the ground beneath our feet.
