The closest one to me, right now, is in the Smith Valley of Nevada. They have a big truck garden area and sell local Honey and Eggs. God Bless the “Renner Farm”, for hanging in there for Us.
While I am on this important subject, I would propose a New Law (Of, For and BY We The People) that limits land ownership to 160 acres. With what We have learned about organic food production, the American Family Farm scene could become Better than it ever has been before.
Of course, if We did pass such a law, We would have to spend time and energy healing and repairing the damage done to the land and the crop species, by the corporate capitalist movement. But, I truly believe that this can and should be done, for the sake of Our Nation’s Future.
