Talk about a community garden!!
Here is an interesting story about an entire village in the United Kingdom that has come together to grow their own food. Started in 2003, their goal is to be as self sufficient as possible. Of the 164 families that live in the village, 101 have signed up for the project.
Every week they sell their extra produce, chickens, pigs and honey. The result? They are making a nice profit and only go to the grocery store for things like “loo paper and deodorant”.
Their most popular veggie at market? Carrots!
Thanks to the Shibaguyz for the heads up on this project.

That is so inspirational!! Can you imagine if most towns in North America did this?
I would love to live in a community like this!
Hey Teresa – Glad you liked the story. I know! Wouldn’t that be awesome if we lived in a town like this.
And Robin – Thanks for the comment. Yes…Yes…I think we would all fit right in with this crowd. Don’t you think? (BTW….love your blog!)
