Three Farmers, Three Communities

Three Farmers, Three Communities

May 28 2006

Pierre meets three professional farmers from Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms in southeast Pennsylvania in the USA who show how their communities organized to grow great organic food close to homes.

Their food has better quality, better taste and less driving! This is a model for farming close to home, where people need the food! See the farms at: Pennypack Farm or Anchor Run Farm or Blooming Glen Farm
