Well, I'm an elitist ;.) I live on 2 acres of scrub in Eire and I may be drunk with the idea of "goating", nevertheless, worth a try. Yes, being a city dweller does have drawbacks if one wants to start a wee farm!

Austin TX is a great place for eating locally, with nice farmers' markets and local farms one can visit personally to get produce, canned items, even meat and dairy.

We've been taking it one step further as much as possible by growing all our veggies in the not-very-large yardspace around our house.  It makes for strange-looking grounds with raised beds and odd-shaped gardens, but enjoying the fruits of our labors (lots and lots of labors) is quite wonderful. We're eating lots of summer squash right now, four varieties, and four varieties of green beans, too.  I'm pacing the floor waiting for the tomatoes to ripen.

Thanks for your food movement articles.
