Linked in Profile

I started hyperlocavore.com to introduce folks with green thumbs to folks with space to grow food, and to encourage the practice of yard sharing, produce exchanges, tool sharing, potlucks and block parties. We share this vision: healthy kids who love the smell of dirt, blocks with foreclosed homes becoming vibrant neighborhoods, elders brought back into community, people sharing tables full of delicious food at costs we can all afford and neighbor who are friends.
