A road trip to the Rodale Institute in Kutztown, PA was inspirational as always. While there to demonstrate some tools and equipment I was inspired by Cynthia James and her ASC interns. (Agriculture Supported Community) One intern named Heather shared her inspiration to learn small scale farming techniques and implement a plan to help low income residents of the City of Philadelphia obtain healthy organically grown foods . The ASC farm model has the potential to bring together people from all social and economic backgrounds to help one another achieve a healthier lifestyle while building a better community.
Flame weeding carrot and beet beds at Rodale ASC farm Just as it has been for many generations, it is a great inspiration to see the art and techniques of farming continue to be passed on from one to another.
It's exciting to see the unfolding of great ideas in motion.
We're hoping to see great fruit harvested from agriculture supported community.
