<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for In the lush dirt of Iowa, community grows alongside veggies]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by rsouthan http://www.grist.org/article/2009-05-07-iowa-community-veggies/ Thu, 07 May 2009 09:00:29 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/2009-05-07-iowa-community-veggies/1 Small farms are a refreshing example of "the power of small," which is another way of saying "the small revolution." I live in Brooklyn, and I've vaguely heard about upstate farms I could be ordering from directly, but I've never followed up on it. Instead, I've been relying on the convenience of Fresh Direct. This entry has inspired me to start looking into small farms around here again. That's a lot more fresh, and a lot more direct!

PS: Love the bars on Smith Street

It's great to hear about the positive things going on in the food world when so much looks bleak. Keep spreading the good word.
