"At the end of the day, we all want the DIY movement to go mainstream. We want to make it accessible. I'm totally cool with [all this media coverage]."
"I think the problem with hipsters and farming is that sometimes they start growing food and doing these projects with an attitude as if they are the first to do it. They should pay homage to people in these communities that have been doing it long before they did."
--Nicole Taylor on Hot Grease
