Yes, we are as vulnerable as the community in which we live. Teaching others how easy and feasible growing food is, is part of that. We have had numerous idea swaps with folks who are leaning to wanting some form of or sense of security. Typically i…
Hi Guys - I'll have a crack at this one because I think it's an important conversation with lots of dimensions. Worth a live discussion at some piont, too, I'd venture.
Since we honestly don't know what is coming down the pike, as it were, the best…
