Locals of late have decided to take back overrun lots and empty spaces all over the city as well free space in their own backyards.  Plant a garden and grow your own produce,  backyard to table ensuring the most vitamins possible in everything you eat.  City garden farms in Portland is one group helping to transform unused areas in to city farms.

Check out this hip little trailer style coop.   Although this may be a little much for some of us it's not that far fetched from what's best.  If you go to your local farmers market website to the vendor list you can find sustainable local farms and farmers that are within reasonable distance.  We have researched local farms to us and have picked a few to go through for meat as well as produce.  For us grass fed, free range, no hormone, no antibiotic........FOOD has been night and day.  Enjoy the difference

Food Inc. is a new release Documentary that opens your eyes to government controlled food. ughk!  It's worth watching and is from the author of the Omnivores Dilemma.  Enjoy and let me know what you think.
