The Greenhorns

Just watched the trailer for this documentary and it made me teary eyed and excited all at once.

Words

From the Ethicurean:

Edible San Francisco contains this anonymous quotation: “Despite its artistic pretensions and its many accomplishments, humankind owes its existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”

Urban Farmer

You must read this article about Will Allen, an urban farmer from Wisconsin.

I live in East London and though I live across the street from a park and a city farm, we have nothing on the scale of what Will Allen is leading. This is inspiring stuff that makes me want to go find an empty space and grow things in it.

Just like they're doing in San Francisco.
