Arlo Guthrie, in Alice's Restaurant said, "They'll think it's a movement."
Perhaps urban farming is a movement. After all, the New York TImes wrote about it the other day.
There is a wonderful quote in that article. A woman named Florence Russell, overlooking the gardeners working compost into beds, said:
This is something good happening here.
Profound words, Florence is perhaps wiser than she thinks.
While the article talks about the revenue-generating possibilities of urban farming, I think that most urban farmers are in it for other reasons. Again, a quote form the NYT article:
“It’s not about making money,” Ms. Washington said. “We’re selling so that people in our neighborhood have good quality. There’s no Whole Foods in my neighborhood.”
