Video - Can Organic Farming Feed Us?

Here is a totally awesome video that is so inspirational and hopeful! The first farm featured is also using the CSA model (which many farmers are discovering is quite a successful way to go), and also sell through farmer's markets. They DON'T sell to grocery stores at all, but they are very successful and support a huge number of people with their produce - they just sell direct to consumers who want their foods. This is a great example, as Eve says, of how you can "vote with your dollars" and choose locally grown foods which are not only better for you, but grown more sustainably to benefit the planet as a whole.

There is also a good scientific explanation for why organic foods are healthier, in case you were wondering. (And I loved the suggestion Betty gave for lawns - I have often had that same thought myself!) :-)

This is a bit longer than most of the videos we post, but it is WELL worth setting aside 30 minutes to watch. And if you like this, please share our link with others via Facebook or another method using the buttons below!
