For those of you who wonder what my company does...

I'll make some corrections on what the reporter messed up:

The reporter was all about organic. We do some but not all. Our focus is on Local.

We are not partnered with the farms, we started and operate them.

I am helping to get the new center for farmers off the ground. Once it is up and running, I will be in charge of assisting farmers with the financial planning and risk management of their farms.

That is awesome that they covered your shop. My parents are members or participants at Geraldson's farm. They love it and they do get a ton of great Veggies. Organic is super overrated, the stuff goes bad way to fast. Local agriculture should be what people focus on.

I've seen your parents out there the few times I have been there during a pickup.

Yeah I talked to my mom yesterday and she said she got a ton of snap peas and squash and stuff. Allie and I went there over Christmas and picked some veggies too. The lettuce they were growing was crazy good. I wish they had something like that up here. Unfortunately it is impossible for me to grow anything in the shady recesses of the city. Anyway, glad it is working out.

The concept was actually started up in the Northeast.
