This week on The Farm Report Heather welcomed new co-host Erin Fairbanks to the show. The gals talked to Derek Denckla, author of TheGreenest.net and founder of FarmCity.us, a sort of combination catalyst, aggregator, and promotional tool for sustainable agriculture events. Tune in to find out how Derek's survey of Bushwick revealed a community hungry for more food growth and less condos, and how a lagging economy and the vacant lots left in its wake put this shared dream within reach. This episode was sponsored by Roberta's.
