Organic & Sustainable Farming Benefits
The image of a traditional rural lifestyle, with cows grazing out at pasture, chickens pecking in the barnyard, and a lush mix of produce thriving in the fields, finds its fulfillment in the organic farm. Livestock are raised in healthy, airy conditions, free of antibiotics and growth hormones.
Organic farmers focus on feeding the soil, not the plants. Healthy soil rich in organic matter and microorganisms makes for vigorous plants that resist pests and disease. Healthy, living soil is vital to organic farming. The natural end result of this is that farmers strive to maintain ecological balance through their farming practices. Continual addition of compost, tilled-under cover crops, animal manures, and other naturally sourced nutrients enrich the soil in much the same way as happens in nature. This rich soil, in turn, yields flavorful produce higher in antioxidants and other nutrients than many conventional crops.
Organically-grown fields are also better equipped than conventional ones to fight off pests and disease. With efficient, intelligent management, organic farming offers similar yields to conventional. While conventional farms may have higher yields in optimum growing conditions, vigorous organic crops can even outyield conventional ones in a difficult growing year. Organic production does have higher labor costs, but this is generally offset with higher prices at the grocery store.
Organic farmers bring their considerable creativity to bear in selling their crops, as well. Many small farms operate roadside produce stands; others use community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs to sell their products. The CSA model, where consumers subscribe to a weekly, biweekly, or monthly "share" of whatever a farm is producing, is becoming increasingly popular. Harvest festivals and pick-your-own crops are also customer favorites.

Experimenting in mobile agriculture, and empowering individuals to think about food and gardening in a new way.
Our mission is to demonstrate the creative possibility of urban agriculture by promoting local farms, healthy eating, and sustainability using a 35-foot school bus converted into a mobile greenhouse: The Green Urban Lunch Box. We will take the bus on visits to schools, farmers' markets, fairs, and other community events. We will focus on educating citizens about producing nutritious food, conserving resources, and encouraging self-reliance.
Our goal is to be self-sufficient. Funding support will come from the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, advertising space on the bus, and consulting with schools and community groups in building their own bus-fields.
Our first priority is sustainability and doing what is best for the community. We will freely share information with others trying to make the world a better place.
