We'd see Greensboro grown produce sold in the Greensboro Farmers' Market. For you see, despite what David Craft might want you to think, the produce sold in the Greensboro Farmers' Market is not grown in Greensboro. There are no farms in Greensboro.
But it could be if the Greensboro Farmers' Market rules were adjusted and if the City of Greensboro were to offer tax breaks to property owners who convert unused properties to organic urban farms as is done in world class cities like Los Angeles, California. As a matter of fact: if the if the City of Greensboro were to offer tax breaks to property owners who convert unused properties to urban farms and also allowed those farms to retail their own products from right there on the farm then we might could leave the Greensboro Farmers' Market and David Craft out of the picture.
In doing this we could keep the farming profits in Greensboro and provide healthy food in neighborhoods that don't now have access to healthy food, provide jobs and build community in ways we are unable to do today.
You know, if our "leaders" cared...
