Food that can keep you healthy against Covid, and all kinds of other things. Skip the middleman. Skip all the processing that takes the nutrition out of the food. Watch the video.

I am for it but I don't know how 7 billion people can be fed if it's not with mass producion and middlemens. However, the demand for organic and local products has been growing and I expect it will continue to grow in the coming years, making them cheaper, but I think the vast majority of people will continue to eat mass-produced food.

To save historic farm, couple creates agrihood of tiny homes



When developers bought the land that Skip Connett and Erin Flynn were farming in Austin TX, and planned to turn their fields into RV lots, the couple conceived of a plan to save their farm and add an attraction to the development. Village Farm, the first "agrihood" in the area, was born.

Instead of building community around a golf course or a pool, they argued for making the farm the focal point and to build tiny houses around it so residents would benefit from fresh produce and views of fields and flowers.

Village Farm was launched as "the nation's first Agrihood" with the 1902 mule barn and farmhouse as the centerpiece, surrounded by 170 tiny homes. Skip and Erin came back to restart their Green Gate Farms and manage it on a contractual basis; part of that agreement is that they have a tiny home for themselves to live in while running the farm. While they still haven't given up their home on their larger farm in Bastrop, Texas, they feel it's important for farmers to live on-site.
