FLOW and the MdW Coalition

Wormfarm is an active member of Rural Urban FLOW—a network of agri/cultural producers primarily in Sauk County and Milwaukee. We cultivate common ground through exchanges that explore each other's landscapes and communities.

We also represent Wisconsin in MdW, an evolving coalition of artist-run projects, platforms, and spaces spanning the Midwest.

FLOW describes: our life choices, our commingled enthusiasms, and a way to realize a healthy regional ecosystem that values cultural differences—one that acknowledges an interdependent 'biotic community,' to paraphrase Aldo Leopold, that includes people, animals, plants, water, and the land itself.”
