Individuals commenting on social media about True Life’s Farm plan seem to be focused mainly on the “Farm to table,” fresh produce theme. Many are completely unaware of what a CSA (community supported agriculture) program is, and the individual sacrifices it requires.
The garden farm portion of this proposal is not free. No one will be coming into the community to plant, cultivate, and harvest the crops. It’s like sweat equity: The neighbors and residents will have to do the work to sustain the farm garden vegetables and crops, either through monetary donations and/or labor by becoming “subscribers.”
