      This Sunday I went to a small organic farm about half an hour away with the Greens. The owner of the farm, Sam, told us a lot about the how organic farming works and how he became a farmer. The farm runs a CSA and provides two schools in the area with produce. We spent a few hours weeding beds of beets and then we helped Sam and his wife prepare a dish with vegetables from the farm for their Full Moon Potluck Dinner. There really was a nice sense of community because the people who came to the dinner were part of the CSA.  

      One thing that Sam emphasized was that the most important part of creating a local, sustainable food system (the motto of the farm) was educating people about the problems with the alternatives.
