I know! So, I know you are just now moving to Minneapolis, but you and MA really need to look into moving to Boulder along with all other YOTGers. We could all live together on a farm, I think Amy would be up for it since she thinks communal living would be cool.

Have you seen the book, Going Green: True Stories from Gleaners, Scavengers and Dumpster Divers edited by Laura Pritchett? It's awesome – 24 stories that are so inspiring and entertaining. Laura's a Colorado author – her website is http://www.laurapritchett.com.

I too have a fantasy about living on a bit more land, growing my own vegetables and having a few chickens.

It's a shame that is so hard for farmers to make a decent living. I have heard the number of farmers is on the decline. How will we be able to eat without farmers?

I love when a business "has a story". There's a brand of milk I buy (Reid's Dairy) that has a story on the side of the carton about how one man started the business "with just a broom and a bucket" or something along those lines. I used to entertain the kids with all kinds of fictional variations of how people became a success with just a broom and a bucket.

Wow, this is such a cool idea. Let's all have farms and live down the road from each other. But seriously it would be cool to make this a reality.
