The following is a continuation of my series, Economic Development At The White Street Landfill. I don't expect everyone to like all of my ideas but it's about time the City of Greensboro took some of them into account.
In this video, Tony Coote of Mulloon Creek Natural Farms in conjunction with the Mulloon Institute located in Mulloon Creek, NSW, Australia, explains their organic egg farming operation.
There, Mulloon Creek Natural Farms (MCNF) is able to graze 1000 hens per 20 acres in a commercial organic growing operation that raises chickens humanly in very much the same way as I do in my own back yard. Though on a much larger scale. Their eggs are rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. Twice the Omega 3 as regular commercially grown eggs. And the cool thing is you'll never notice foul smells from organic, free range chicken farms.
MCNF also raises beef, pork, lamb, garlic and vegetables in a climate that when compared to Greensboro, North Carolina, sucks for growing produce. They employ workers, have intern programs, educate and restore the land rather than destroying the land.
The 500 never before used acres located at the White Street Landfill could become the hub, the center of several farms that through a public-private partnership lead the way towards maintaining food security and economic development in Greensboro and Guilford County. Other properties include but aren't limited to the 860 acre Guilford County Prison Farm that is currently being considered for yet another unneeded industrial park.
And don't forget, with all that available water coming from the dam scam we have plenty of water to use for Aquaculture, Aquaponics and other advanced forms of farming.
I mean, seriously folks, I remember when there were cows grazing in East Greensboro, just across the street from where I live. They were some of the best neighbors we've ever had.
