It always aggravates me to see the millions of "available" square feet of warehouse space along the turnpike...especially between exits 7a and 8a

This looks great. What would take this to the next level is if it could be done year round in a green house. I think some of the best ideas is to pay people for the food they want grown. If I could pay for food in advance that others would grow organically I sure would like to do that even better than buying it from the store where it had to travel many miles to get here.
