It is an idea whose time has come. No more food desserts and future farmers here they develop with hands and imaginations in the soil.

More and more of the Houston outskirts are being developed each year. All the green areas are being replaced with concrete and businesses we really don’t need. I love Houston but I’m tired of all the building. I will definitely be looking forward to how this project turns out.

If I lived near Houston I would be there, helping! Wonder if there is any way of reaching out to these folks? Wonder if they have thought about tapping into Permaculturists, Woofers, or the Tiny House community where you might find like-minded thinkers. Bioregionalists might also provide good network. for helping the highly conservative Houston politicians with living examples. I believe there have been projects like this one in Cali and New Mexico.
Hats off to you all! Best news article I’ve read in weeks!!!

Community Supported Agriculture, basically a subscription pact between supplier (farmer) and consumer, where costs for growing food are shared.
Though newish in America it has been a thriving concept in European countries where clean good food is common.
Hope that helps!

What a great model this will be for other states to realize that this plan has appeal to a lot of us who do not want to return to the city for convenience sake. Good for these guys!

Cities are so vulnerable to economic shocks and food supply chain disruptions. They are not designed for resilience. Everything has to be shipped and trucked in from somewhere else with high cost for energy inputs. The more cities plan for local food growing and sourcing food from within a local radius, the more resilience is created. As we shift to a more decentralized supply chain model, we can learn to commit to meeting the needs of communities by the communities themselves. Great piece.
