Fairly recently our town in CT purchased over a hundred acres of old farmland and woods. It is a work in progress. So far there is an old house(which will be the new home of our historical society), community gardens, a pond and three walking trails.With all of the hoopla over food freedom and our right to grow and eat what is clean and healthy, I have become more interested in community garden projects.We must begin to depend less on the centralized food system. It is a system of control and ill health. All summer I have been taking walks through the fields, by the pond, and into the woods. I also enjoyed walking through the many community garden plots. I had my camera with me on all of these walks...so stop by the link below, relax and enjoy a bit of nature. |

Wait till the FDA hears about this. They'll have the swat teams there in no time to shut it down and arrest the mayor and city council.
PARMELEE FARM COMMUNITY GARDENS.
In the year 2000, the town of Killingworth, CT bought 132 acres of land, and has recently established a community garden and several beautiful walking trails. The property was named The Parmelee Farm, to acknowledge it's first owners, Horace and Eunice Parmelee. The Parmelee house, which was built in 1847 (photo above) will soon house The Killingworth Historical Society. It wasn't until this summer....the summer of 2011...that I finally discovered this magical place. The gardens, pond, fields and trails are a peacful refuge from our modern hurry scurry world. When I walk the fields and trails, sit by the pond and stroll around the old house and barns, I feel as if I am transported to another time.
The concept of forming community gardens needs to be encouraged. Big agriculture is becoming a monopoly and in order to have affordable healthy food, we need to maintain our right to grow our own food and or to support other local growers. It makes more sense ecologically to grow and buy our food locally, it's good for self sustainability and for the sustainability of the planet.....and it is much better for our health. Local organically grown food is the first step in maintaining our freedoms and reversing the deteriorating health of our society. ....
