The people are so passionate about where the food goes to the privateroperty owners give us the food theyre happy that no of a t is going to waste oh. Thank you. Thank you. Again job aura natural laughter . From backyards to back lots lets take a look at the food and Community Bonding at the free farm. My idea was to start growing food and giving it away. And getting my neighbors to who had space and having a kind of event that brings people together not to run our food program this time around but to share the wealth of the abundance of our welfare. We were all divorce and as part of our philosophy of working together and working together. Whats the most rewarding aspect of volunteering for the free farm stand. Well, we could is a generalic satisfaction but something about giving food away its giving something i brought that in and sort it and gave it to you its primitive to be able to give something some basically to someone else. Now serving number to 49 come on down. We have the capability of producing this food and in San Francisco you can grow food all year round so the idea were capable of prougdz food in our own backyards were here to demonstrate an bans of food and i think that giving it away for free we show individuals it in have to be a comedy. We build time together and its the strength of any ideas of the connections well turn that connection and the more connections you make no mistake about it the more you can have a stronger power and not have to rely on money thats the people power.
