Local, Local, Local.....







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!

  1. Ryan,

    I'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.

  2. Ryan,

    If 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.

    Is this something you are still working on? I would also be interested in volunteering should you need the help.

  5. Mastercards are entirely important as they permit you extra time to take care of the cash that you owe and can go far in setting up a firm financial assessment for benefits later on.
