Congratulations on a great article. A while back you posted something about going to a salvage yard. Can you tell me the name of it? I am looking for lumber for some raised beds. Thanks!

I've just looked up Agenda 21 and it's miles long - could CE please specify which section he/she is quoting from?

It is a wonderful article but ironic that when this country is embracing local food so enthusiastically, the lawmakers are passing laws like NAIS, HR 875 (which was defeated by almost a million negative public emails but replaced by another similar and just as repressive bill), the proposed recreational fishing ban on US waters and coastlines, the proposed hunging ban, the Obama administrations support of UN Agenda 21 which seeks to "abolish private ownership of rural or suburban land, local food production by individuals, global citizenship education and population control".
I know! It sounds like some alternate dimension and not our country or our times. But just look at the laws lined up to be voted on and look at Agenda 21 which is for the entire world including the US.
This wonderful little farm would not be possible under the proposed laws. Check out congressional watchdog sites and write/email your lawmakers because the law that would close this farm down could also make it illegal for you to have a home garden. I kid you not.

Awesome. I can relate to the neighbors comment. Our neighborhood really focuses on connecting and contributing to each other on a regular basis. It's great to see how you have affected those who live close to you.

Great article. The more press you get, the better.
