Organic farming is becoming a big business in America, according to new U-S Department of Agriculture survey data. The USDAs Bob Ellison has more.
This is an interesting video and the Sacramento area certainly is home to some organic farming movements. Does anyone buy from any of these local joints? Or is anyone growing a a garden in your backyard? What a great way to save money and promote health.
If you were in the market for a home, would you pay more for a house that already had a garden set up? If you work in real estate, are you finding clients more apt to look for properties where growing a garden is a viable option?
