SUBURBAN FARMING
In Western Washington Puget Sound area there are many districts that are zoned to a minimum of 5 acres. Too large for urban living and too small for conventional farming. Ideal for co-operative farming.
On the Key Peninsula se have such a co-op where commuters can order produce on the internet on the weekend for delivery to a pickup site mid week on there way home. This allows local small acrage producers to each do what they love and yet supply a great variety of food to the local community. Besides vegetables, there is the bee lady, the raw milk dairy, The pickle lady. the berry farm. the flower lady, the lushes apple orchard, the coffee roaster, and a couple of bakers.
