SPIN Tip of the Week
Courtesy of SPIN farmer Suzanne A., Waste-Not-Gardens, Waukegan, IL: I sell wheatgrass by the tray (freshly cut), and I also juice it up at farmer's markets. I also sell wheatgrass fusion drinks. I sell it for pets and also floral arrangements. Very versatile crop.

MAKE SPIN-FARMING PART OF YOUR ORGANIZING ACTIVITIES!Use this do-it-yourself Power Point to show people how to bring agriculture back home.
We can't all go back to the land, and most of us don't want to. But more of us are using backyards, front lawns and neighborhood plots to grow our own food. Some are motivated by principle, others by passion, and still others by pragmatism. The immediate rewards are great-tasting vegetables and lower food bills. Others, like good health, self-reliance, fellowship and community, seem to crop up naturally along the way.
Whatever your reasons, if you are ready to follow the call to good eating from your own garden, follow us.
