Community Farming Video
Green Meadows Farm is a video recounting the community farming project that gives people of a community the opportunity to partner with a farm and experience the production and educate their family at the same time.
nice video–seeing all that
lovely green stuff growing
improved my frozen attitude.
i cant wait to feel warm earth
in my hands again!
remind me of this when i start
complaining about the heat down
here in the “sunny south”
vty, j-lea
have you ever thought of creating such a “community” on your own farm w/ seminars or whatever?
my original intent here was to get
share/market going with atlanta
people who couldnt get good organic
produce. a sort of buying club,
with upfront funds for my work, seeds,gas for tiller and etc. in exchange for fixed # bagfuls of
various produce all summer.
even a “come and pick” family
visiting farm. instead i sold herbs and produce via an organic buddy who took stuff to chef’s market in the city weekly.
i ended up smaller-scale: trades and exchanges with friends and neighbors[massage, eggs, melons car repairs, organic chicken, a clothes-dryer, haircuts, etc.]
these days fresh/organic produce
is fairly available, and i’m
alot less social…
