Last Week I attended a Town Hall Meeting at the local bookstore/coffee shop. The Matter Book store here in ft. Collins is a mecca for local movement and progressive community endeavors. Owner Todd Simmons who also runs Wolverine Farm Publishing as well as owner of the Matter bookstore facilitated this event as a way to unite various projects within the local food movement. Ft. Collins is a progressive community rich with individuals who are striving to “do the right thing”. The panel who was presenting information to the public included, Happy Heart Farm, a Locally run CSA. Dennis and Baily Stenson have devoted their lives to Community Sustainable Agriculture here in this town for 27 years and continue to do so in a harmonious and Bio-dynamic way. Also Galemarie Kimmel of Be-Local, a local business which publishes an annual coupon book geared to support the local economy. John Anderson, who I call the Willy Wonka of worm world also sat in on the panel as well as the Growing Project and Grow Forth both Community Farms.
