National Farm-City Week, which begins Friday and continues through Thanksgiving Day, celebrates the relationships between farmers and those living in urban areas and highlights the growing farm to table trend. You can hear NC Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler talk about the importance of this week and learn more from the National-Farm City Council.There are so many amazing things happening with sustainable farming across the country. Will Allen from Growing Power, Inc. in Milwaukee, WI, gave a speech last week at NC State called "Steps to Successful Urban Farming." Several team members from the WWFM went out to listen and came back inspired. "Will Allen makes getting your hands dirty sound glamorous, and I can't wait to start in my backyard," said Juliann Zoetmulder, WWFM president.
