Hyperlocavore.com & the Yardshare Movement
What is it, you ask? If you're the upteenth person waiting in line for a spot in a community garden, looking into a yardshare may be a better and quicker choice for your desire to plant. Yardsharing is basically when a person with an underutilized yard allots a certain amount of it to be used by a group of people who are willing to garden in that space in return for some of the yield of what is grown there. Hyperlocavore.com is a meet up site where those yearning to spread their seed -ha, had to do it- and those who are willing ... um, get together and do it ... -.- lol ok, enough of this. Just check it out.
Why and I started hyperlocavore...when things fell apart...
It's been nearly two years now since I began...A good time to look back and look forward...

On Choosing – A Hyperlocavore Responds to Catastrophe
“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everyday we are presented with immense, rolling, overlapping catastrophes; environmental devastation, [swineflu!?] societal malaise and violence, and running out of the stuff that, we are told, underpins our every creature comfort – oil. All of these things are true. That hand basket you’ve heard so much about, we’re riding in it!
How do we “carry on”, as the Brits used to say? Well, I’m not at all interested in “carrying on” actually. Nose down, joy in check, plodding and miserable. I want to thrive. I was raised with mighty high expectations of what this life can be, and I’m not giving those expectations up. I want to reach the top of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. I want to love and live well. And I want to eat REALLY well. I got used to that in the 1990′s.
Well, first I would like to suggest some humility, for many on the planet, this rolling crisis has been their daily experience for as long as they have lived. It is nothing new. Check in with yourself. What are you grateful for? What have you been given in life by your community, your family, your beloveds, your friends and your neighbors, by this Earth? You can read this. There must be someone who taught you to read. Take a moment. Sit with your gratitude.
That’s where I began when I starting building hyperlocavore.com – a free yard sharing community, sitting with my gratitude. I had just been laid off. It was April. I had been a tech strategy person at a 35 year old sustainability non-profit that had been fighting the good fight as long as I had been on the planet. I took an inventory…
I am grateful that I grew up in the Silicon Valley, a place that fed my voracious curiosity and kept me tinkering. I am grateful for growing up in the Bay Area, a place absolutely crammed with practical minded revolutionaries and doing daring dreamers. The rest of the country seems to think the only thing we gave them was tie-dye and 4 foot bongs, but they would be mistaken. The Bay Area is a place that teaches everyone “Why Not?” A society of people that does not let you just talk about a good idea without telling you, in chorus, to “DO IT!” It is tough to get away with a lot moaning and jaw flapping in a place like that.
Will you choose another day of fear, of distrust, anger or powerlessness, of envy, isolation …complaining or will you choose the plentiful garden, the neighborhood, real community, real food and pleasure?
Yes. Pleasure.
“There’s only two things that money can’t buy, That’s true love and homegrown tomatoes!”

Seeking Yardshare - Sacramento CA
Hello, I'm a gardener still learning. I have a small plot at a community garden but I'm looking for more space to practice growing. My eventual goal is to start a homestead where I'd raise my own meat and grow all my fruits and veggies and live as sustainable as possible. If anyone here has an interest in Guerrilla Gardening and food foraging, msg me. It's something I've been wanting to get into.

Some Hot Air From an Anti-Locavore
Remember last August when Stephen Budiansky published an outrageous op ed in the New York Times called "Math Lessons for Locavores"? About a month after that, he was on AgriTalk, a Big Ag radio show, telling farmers how bad locavores are for the environment. And the interview is PRICELESS.
It was recently rebroadcast, and that's when I caught it, on December 28, 2010 AgriTalk (Originally broadcast on September 20, 2010). If you listen to the December version, start listening at 28:34 into the show, where a Farm Bureau segment has a quote from Norman Borlaug's granddaughter Julie, which I've transcribed below. A few seconds later, at 29:26, the actual segment with Budiansky begins. And, um, have your fact checkers handy because this guy spouts off an awful lot of things that aren't true, one right after another. I've transcribed part of it below - with some analysis about what part of his statements are bullshit and which are not.
