"If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been to bed with a mosquito." Betty Reese
City Farmer in Vancouver is not large by any means. In terms of land there are just a few acres, and in terms of people Michael, Marie and Sharon run the non profit enterprise.
However what farm do you know that not only teaches local authorities about composting and small scale farming and gardening, but has literally hundreds of school visits and talks?
Thats great granted, but what other farm do you know that has a webcam that updates with a new photo online every hour? That has produced podcasts, and videoblogs for many years and actually connects on a worldwide scale. Michael told me that he has had contacts and people watching his videos worldwide. What a great case study - local action, global inspiration.
Watch what happened when I got there on my scholarship! The band are called the Regal Trio!
Great to hear, and see, you speaking about Farming, Social Media, and whatsit. I had trouble getting the video at the link to work, but a bit of digging turned up a YouTube link and wayhay!a video podcast, to which I am now subscribed.
Great to see Monte and Farmer Phil faffing abut in the background!

Okay, found it. What do you make of the fact that in the "Related Videos" frame, the first "related video" is " webcam girl sex nude strip teasing web cam sexy hot latina"?? Is there something you're not telling us, Heather?
Good lord, Monty's taller than I'd imagined.
