One of my colleagues at Creighton and his wife started a farm this past summer: Squash Blossom Farm. I just talked with him and they're moving it out to 180th where they're embarking on an "urban farming" project. There's the possibility that they'll be opening it up for folks to come work their own plots, or just be in the space, etc. In any case, they have lots of super cool ideas, including raising chickens and selling eggs.
I told him that I thought I knew some folks (ahem, you all) who would be interested in knowing what's going on, and he sent me a link to their blog. Click on the title of this post to go there. I know this is a case of planning, well, WAY ahead, but they'll probably be selling starts and such in the spring--a good resource for those of us who want to have our own backyard gardens. Anyway. Just a little FYI.
Oh! And the site has recipes on it, organized by vegetable. Fun. (The link's up in the right corner).
