For about $500 a season, you can have own farmer

Environmentalists recommend buying close to the farm. But actually buying the farm?
A growing number of people around the nation are investing in shares of a local farmer's crop, reducing trips to the supermarket and the cost of shipping food.
"It makes sense that you would save gas on broccoli grown 30 miles away versus California," said Rob Goldman, 53, a doctor from the Milwaukee suburb of Whitefish Bay.

I do wish these people lived closer. Well, maybe not.

Really lucky as we have a ton of farms within 10 minutes of the house. Love this time of year!

Farm or Farmer? Those are 2 very different things.

I have heard of something similar, kind of like a group garden, where the owner helps and teaches you how to plant and grow produce for a pretty hefty fee. I think it was some where in California. I am not sure how that would work though, if some one took my tomatoes. Probably won't be long till we hear of people stealing stuff out of gardens, the cost keep going up.
