In Mexico, Central or South America? Give the surplus that is not used for "our" food to the homeless and other hungry families in the area. Any opinions?
 
Being rather successfully at it, too. Last I heard.
But.... I kinda wunder. Why is it that when someone tosses this idea out there, they ALMOST always say " in Mexico"?? You know, folks, not every one in America is living the good life. I know America is the land of fat, spoilt brats. But there ARE a lot of people who don't have access to healthy food. Just saying....
 
I am pondering/working on 'manifesting' a place (land!) of some sort or other in MI, since a.) I'm from here, and am most comfortable with what successfully grows here - although tropical would be dope! We're getting there... :\ b.) We're the only FREAKIN' STATE WITH FRESH WATER!! Admittedly, there are rivers, streams, wells, mountain run-off,lakes, etc. However... in terms of water, we are #1. 'Nuff said.

My grandmother owns 120+ acres down by Coldwater, which is actually *not* that far from Lake Michigan. She is currently renting the house to a family, and then some local farmers are leasing the land from her. I just want 5 acres or something!! Have yet to talk to her about this.. she's a little.. fragile, and I'm a little shy. :) It's all a work in progress - wouldn't be started 'til next spring (pending that next spring arrives successfully...). I'll have about $5,000 to throw down (all converted to gold), and a SHIT TON of dirt. Like... many, many cubic feet of very, verrryyy good, organic dirt.

...Mexico is awesome, though :)

Namaste, Blessed Be,
