AREA GARDENER IN RUNNING TO BE WHITE HOUSE FARMER -- YOU CAN VOTE!

"Who Will Be the First White House Farmer?"

"This site is a forum to follow up on Michael Pollan’s call for a White House Farmer. The farmer will be charged with transforming “five prime south-facing acres of the White House lawn and plant[ing] in their place an organic fruit and vegetable garden” whose produce will be used by the White House Chef, and given to area food banks," quoting White House Farmer.

One of the 3 nominees from Washington State is from right here in the South Sound:
Carrie Anne Little — Mother Earth Farm

"I believe that above all “The White House Farmer” must project a determination to see every person in the United States has access to high quality fresh food every day regardless of economic circumstances. In Pierce County, Washington, Carrie Little has lived and worked this belief for the past 16 years."

CLICK HERE to vote for Carrie!

YOU GO, CARRIE!!!
