How do you think San Diego should grow?
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/nov/29/how-should-san-diego-grow-vote-now-foundation-says/?fb_comment_id=fbc_10150484924245020_20851102_10150486382025020#faf9e37c7af0d1
Online voting to continue through January with results incorporated in new 'vision' plan
If you wonder who’s planned San Diego into such a mess of sprawling housing developments, jammed freeways, underperforming schools and poor employment prospects, the San Diego Foundation has the antidote -- you.
Starting Wednesday and continuing to mid- or late-January, the organization hopes tens of thousands of San Diego County residents will go to “ShowYourLoveSD.org” and engage in a “public choosing” of what the future we want.
The cyber-teach-in will be used in preparing a new vision for the region, set for publication next spring, with the added promise that this time, when someone sketches out a vision, it will get implemented.
Heading the effort, entitled “Our Greater San Diego Vision,” is Bill Geppert, recently retired vice president and regional manager of Cox Communications. He also is acting president of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp.
“This is an opportunity to have input into our future,” Geppert said. “It’s an opportunity to have a voice about what kind of San Diego we want in the next 40 to 50 years out that our kids and grandkids will live in, where they will live, work and play. It’s the chance to shape what’s possible in the future.” READ MORE

'Organic' certification gives farmers a tough row to hoe
http://yourlife.usatoday.com/fitness-food/story/2011-11-20/Organic-certification-gives-farmers-a-tough-row-to-hoe/51322482/1
In fact, no crops here have been treated with pesticides, herbicides or chemical input of any sort. But you can't call what's produced on Newcomb's Potomac Vegetable Farms "organic." That word has been tightly regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture since 2002.
"We were certified organic for 13 years, before the federal government got involved," says Newcomb, who now calls her farm's produce "ecoganic" as a way to encourage customers to ask how it was grown — or, even better, come see for themselves. "We are still doing everything the same way, but just aren't getting certified."
Across the USA, many small-scale farmers do not feel the need to become certified organic, even if their method of farming would meet or exceed federal standards. It's a phenomenon that can be credited in part to the eat-local movement and the explosion of farmers markets, where consumers can meet, ask questions of and even visit the people who grow their food. Many locavores feel they don't need a third-party certification for something they've seen with their own eyes. READ MORE

“I’ve talked with potato growers who say point-blank they would never eat the potatoes they sell. They have separate plots where they grow potatoes for themselves without all the chemicals.” READ MORE

What We Learned From Our Year Without Groceries
Dog Island Farm
I can't believe it's been a year now since we started our year without groceries. We learned a lot in that year. We are definitely healthier, but also we're happier. Our relationship with each other is stronger as we've had to learn how to really work well together.
When we first decided to do a year without buying food from the grocery store, convenience stores, box stores or restaurants we thought the challenge was going to be really difficult. And it kind of started out that way. We had difficulties getting local milk, even though we live near a lot of dairies, and our goats hadn't been bred yet so we had to wait for them to start producing. We had an order on part of a steer that almost didn't come in, and our first monthly co-op order was missed. READ MORE
