This YouTube video, a 2012 Paonia Film Fest winner, features Lynn Gillespie of The Living Farm explaining her methods, the significance of farming plus how she "grows" farmers for the future.
Having moved to Paonia due to the great food, local farms disappearing would impact us and the entire western slope that are supplied by the deliciousness grown in our valley. I appreciate that there are so many educational opportunities for grade school children. The one thing I would like to see change is for there to be a permanent ban on fracking and a more comprehensive plan by the communities to encourage the use alternative energy. I'd love to see a bike/walk path between the Paonia, Crawford and Hotchkiss. The big thing missing are bike racks on Grand Avenue.
