Gregory's ServerI cannot overstate how awesome it is to be part of a community-run cropshare project.
Every two weeks I pick up a box of fresh, regional and seasonal vegetables. Plus I get to pick as many legumes, cereal, flours, juices, pesto and other basics as I need. And it's all on a pay-what-you-can base!

@klardotsh Both! It's a core team of full time people working their own field south of Vienna as well as cooperations with local farmers. The cool thing is that the field is owned by a dedicated foundation that cannot ever sell the property and is bound to use it for ecological, community driven, not-for-profit projects. They are building this whole infrastructure where they pull value (mostly real estate) out of commercial utilization chain in a way it can't be brought back. It's awesome!  This particular CSA is called Ouvertura in case you happen to live in Vienna! Ditch corporate dependencies where ever you can. If there are any and you are able to, get involved in a local CSA. Let's build the future we want to live in! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community-supported_agriculture @peacememories Ouvertura sucht noch nach ErnteteilerInnen. Du kannst auch ein Probemonat machen und dich dann entscheiden. Ich finde es super!  |
@rostiger oh hells yes ✊ this is so cool. is this stuff all locally grown? just like, folks backyards? or is it more like a CSA (that term might be very american, idk: Community Supported Agriculture) where there's a partnership with a full-on farm involved?
