Perhaps some forget that farmers can relocate to urban areas. I too come from a farm and my family still struggles to make a living at farming. I've also lived in San Francisco for 10 years and love that these brave souls are helping people understand where food comes from, and helping provide the tools and skills necessary to get started on DIY projects and understand the hard work involved in (urban!) farming.

It's not about hipsters v. farmers, and it's certainly not about paying people to do it for you. That's what we do every time we shop at major supermarket chains with no idea what the ingredients in our food are nor where they come from.

I salute all three of the orgs mentioned above and can't wait to host a homesteading party soon!
