After going through the blog, Slow Food, I found many interesting articles to read but the one I am blogging about is, Denver Crop Mobs: Gathering Forces to Help Sustainable Farms. This blog was about hope this organization "crop mob" was created to help local farms of their everyday task and what it takes to have a farm. I thought this blog was great because it showed how other people in the community got involved to help local farms. I chose this blog because our group is focusing on local farms and want to gather as much information as possible to for our project, This article open a new insight to me that there are organizations out there to help local farms out with people especially chidlren to get involved in their local farms and be aware of the food they eat.
I honestly never was so excited to do a project unitl being assigned to do this one. I am really interested in the local farming and the food we eat. I think it's great that there are organizations out there willing to help these small farms and not the big corporations who are controlling what the people put into their mouths. It allows people to become aware of the produce being produced, the labor it takes to take care of these farms, and the nutritional and beneficial aspects of using local produce.
