Joshua Mabie lives with his wife and two children at Pied Beauty Farm, just outside of Stoughton, Wisconsin. They are slowly converting the farm’s fourteen acres of former corn and soybean field into organic garden plots. Their plan is provide these garden plots to recent immigrants and refugees to help them start their own market garden or CSA. He is also associate professor of English at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater, where he teaches and writes about environmental literature and American literature.
