Urban Farming

Can you tell that I once ran a resource center? I'm trying to information I've gathered on interesting food sites. And today I am thinking about community gardens. An RFP for small grants to promote healthy communities arrived in my e-mail in box this afternoon. Over the next few weeks I'll complete the application for our garden at Thanksgiving Lutheran Church. But this reminded me that I wanted to post links to a couple of videos. One on the South Central Farmers

There are more about them on youtube, but this is a place to begin.
And an older one, a Sierra Club program about community gardens in New York City.

The callousness of politicians of all stripes to these urban farming efforts is deplorable.
