Farm Together Now - The Book and Blog 
Urban farming and the community-driven social and economic development that can accompany it contributes to the important growth of the larger “food democracy” movement, which seems to really be taking off in the U.S., and indeed in many places around the globe. There is something particularly special about urban farming that is organized by a group of people whose cultural values and practices have often been subjugated in their country of resettlement. So finding out that Nuestras Raices is developing in Holyoke is a real piece of important news for those of us who are residents of the Pioneer Valley. Puerto Rico por siempre !
