Interesting Tool

I get lots of solicitous emails because I have a blog. I ignore the vast majority of them. I was going through my email when one caught my eye. The person wasn't trying to sell me anything, and it wasn't a poorly written press release. I kept reading.

It passed my very discerning litmus test of something I'd share with my readers.

It's a site called The Farmer's Garden and it's like a Craigslist for extra produce for backyard "farmers" and those seeking specific excess food.

It's easy to use, but you'll have to register to list your own excess produce.

I think it's a neat idea and while I'm all in favor of sending extra produce to the local food banks, this is another alternative that can create community and share food.

Food for thought.
