Organic Farming In Your Backyard

There is some heartening news today in the world of organic farming -- it seems more and more health-conscious individuals are investing in farmland and converting it back to farming.

And they're doing it for the express purpose of growing local, heirloom and organic food. (Well, some of them also say they don't want the land converted to condos either. . . )

According to an article in today's Journal News neighborhood farming is sprouting up in more and more rural and suburban areas in the Northeast -- and perhaps other parts of the country.

Dr. Michael Finkelstein's SunRaven farm is featured in the Journal News article ; Finkelstein, a holistic-minded doctor, is the former Chief of the Dept. of Medicine at the busy Northern Westchester Hospital.

The farm represents for him a complete change of lifestyle -- and a welcome turn of events for local residents who are well served by the extra 10 acres of new farmland the county now enjoys as a result of Finkelstein's efforts.

It wouldn't take much land to turn brown (soil) into gold -- just a little "sweat equity", some heirloom seeds, organic compost, sunshine, rain, and maybe some good luck.

So. Got an acre or two just sitting around doing nothing? Maybe farming it is the way to go!

Yours for extraordinary dining -- for everyone,

Nancy
