..."Broken Limbs", and I'm chill'n at the Cherry St. Cafe watch'n this DVD, and it makes me think about the history of my own family in Washington State as turn-of-the-century dairy farmers, so I'd suggest a view if anyone wants to get this guy's perspective-

Makes me wonder:

Is the small farm doomed in America?

How much will it take before families negotiate directly with farmers for the preservation of green spaces and local production of foodstuffs?

How long before neighborhood associations purchase farms to ensure a flow of produce into cities?

Isn't that video about...

...a son taking his Dad's apple farm and "saving" it by becoming certified organic?

apples in WA (and CSA ideas)

uh, I'm almost thru, and I don't think that was covered, but yeah about his Dad's farm and such, talking consumer-based support of farms directly...maybe saving the farm is the near the end =)
