...and if you need further proof then the recent plans to zone certain locations as community gardens or greenspaces or the recent discussion on Cleveland Magazine's Silver Spoon Awards on 90.3 at noon today in which there was some discussion on local restaurants who strive to purchase local foods (I don't believe that Lucky's Cafe was mentioned but you can't have everything) then maybe you should read about one Carl Skalak's mission to start his own organic urban farm on East 72nd between I-90 and St. Clair. Carl plans to serve not only the local community as a farm but also as an educational tool for youth to learn about agrarian techniques (he has already participated in the City Fresh Program.
I am very excited about the developing local food market, not only as it will provide fresh and tasty food stuffs to our community but also will help reconnect ourselves to nature and perhaps help shift the image of the city as a self sustaining one.
Special thanks again to MarJ for this one
