When a neighbor got a glimpse of the Tooth Soap® Urban Farm recently, she got very excited and asked if it was okay if her boys came over to see it.

I was all for it since I believe we owe it to our children to show them the basics of food production.

When the boys showed up and saw the garden they ran to it like it was candy! They wanted to plant, dig and be a part of what was going on, in any way they could.

It was a beautiful sight to see the boys so excited about the dirt and what would eventually grow out of it.

The boys asked if they could come back to water the trees and give a hand when the chickens arrived.

I said, “Yes! Absolutely! You can all help me clean out the chicken coop!”

They all cheered and had HUGE smiles on their faces imagining how fun it would be to clean out the chicken coop.

I didn’t mention to them that when they cleaned out the coop, it would be full of chicken doo. If I let them know of the doo, they might not want to do what they said they would do.

Honestly, I didn’t want to ruin their moment.

After watching the boys and their excitement I am even more convinced that what all of us need to be doing is planting a seed or two.

I believe one way to overcome factory food is to GROW YOUR OWN. Even if it is just ONE plant.

Every organic or heirloom plant that each of us sows, harvests and eats is one less crop that is planted and harvested by the GMO profiteers.

The silos are overflowing with GMO corn, wheat and soy. But it has to stop somehow. It has to stop with each one of us, a little at a time.

Even if it is just a tomato or potato plant, every little bit helps. It is always the little things that make the biggest difference. Imagine if this was done by thousands and thousands of people.

The fact remains that we can most certainly change the world, one person at a time and I believe we can make a different one organic plant at a time.

Consider starting an Urban Farm today in your community and get ready for the side effects!
