The South Central farm is a great model to look back on when we talk about self sufficiency in an urban climate, the creation of community democracy, and the race to save the environment. However, there are always forces to overcome when we dare to take steps towards true independence.

The farmland was unfortunately demolished to make way for a Wal-Mart warehouse. Yes, as if we needed more of those in the world…
