Time Magazine's "New Frugality: The Organic Gardener" →
A video about an organic nursery in Austin, TX, that has been logging record sales as people return to gardening and cultivating their living spaces to create their own cleaner, cheaper, more sustainable produce.
“There is a movement toward settling back down. We were getting too far out there, spending too much money, living in an unreal world, and now reality is setting back in…folks are now realizing that the shipping of produce from around the world isn’t a very sustainable way to garden, so they’re looking at the local markets, the family farm is coming back…
…Once you’ve tasted a homegrown vegetable, you’re never going back. We’re going forward with this lifestyle.”
This year, they’re reporting sales are up 500%.
