So, I was at Whole Foods the other day to buy a couple things and as I was perusing, I found some signs that emphasized the idea that "Local Food" is en vogue. Those that have talked to me about this have heard me say that I think "Local" is the new "Organic". As I walked the aisles of Whole Foods, on either side of the aisle you could see something produced locally or a vegetable that was grown nearby. I did not spend a ton of time there, but closest grown vegetable I saw that day was a cippolini onion from Wisconsin. Call me crazy, but I think we can get closer to home.
Take a look at these pictures and feel free to comment with other places you have seen this, as these will only strengthen my position of wanting to start this farm.
Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteI'm an intern architect in chicago, and I'm interested in urban farming as well. I would be interested in volunteering for a project like yours. Let me know how things are moving along for you and when/if you could use the help.

Ryan,
ReplyDeleteIf you are serious about turning this idea into a profitable venture I would be very interested in helping out with the operations. I think it's a great idea and have some ideas myself.
