Yeah, I poked through it and none seem to be all that close by. Will keep on searching. Thank you!
One of the greatest joy I got out of my garden last year was how the kids loved the food...Real food!
Where do you know me from? I do not recognize you from your photo, but probably in person. Sorry.
I am reahing out in every direction to find both Ag work and grow my own Business based on MyFarm out of SF.
I just read Grist's article on Greenhorns @ http://www.grist.org/article/greenhorn-guerilla, and it sounds awesome.
I am looking for folks around here that are doing the same. I do not have formal education. That'll be coming soon.
Last year I interviewed at a farm w/ 33 acres of land to grow on for their restaurant, but the job went to a bunch of UConn students.
