Denver implements urban farming program, allowing residents to sell produce in front yard stands

What about having all your foodstuffs only from you and your neighbors? What about a world where organic food is cheaper and easier to get than conventional farming food? What about connecting with the people who live around you thanks to vegetables and jam? 

This is not an ideal world; this is the present and the future in Colorado. And it has been possible thanks to changes in the law: people are now allowed to sell their “potentially non-hazardous” production such as seeds, spices and honey in front yard stands! 

It means that they can buy good, homemade products for reasonable prices from their neighbors and that they don’t have to rely on big department stores in order to eat. But it also means that they can meet their neighbors, build something with them, and contribute to a sharing society in which people protect the environment and their health while connecting to each other. 

Now what do you think of this? Is it really a step forward or is it a return to our grandparent’s days? Can Europe and America live this way, knowing that in many towns there is not much place for personal gardens? Or are people still going to buy the most of their food in huge department stores and once a month a bit of honey from their neighbor? And even if there is enough demand, will the homemade food production be sufficient? 

In any case, it is a real change and a very interesting alternative to develop! It could make a real difference and, maybe, improve greatly our lives.
