The Youngest CSA

There is plenty of fluffy writing these days about food and gardens but I cannot help but be inspired by this piece in Tonic about the 11 year old Katie Stagliano from South Carolina who started her own garden CSA. Katie obviously has a good publicist, as reflected by her recent video appearance on CNN.com. It is too bad that so much media attention is given to this one young person and not spread around to the folks who are experienced enough to really have a vision for how to change the food system as we know it, but this is one situation in which I am tempted to say that any press is good press when it comes to stories about people producing their own food.
