How is your farm really sustainable if only 1% of people can afford your food? We are actively trying to figure out how to connect the dots between what we do here and the people who’ve been left behind by the farm-to-table movement. Without that mass participation, then all we’re really doing is creating castles in the sky.


that is kind of my issue with this movement. it is elitist and not actually sustainable. most involved are doing very good things, but when you have to ask more than $10 lb for hamburger or organic salad, that leaves a lot of people out.
