Share Your Backyard – Eat Close To Home!

Hyperlocavore – A Yardsharing Community was brought to my attention today… what a wonderful idea!

What is a ‘hyperlocavore’?

A hyperlocavore is a person who tries to eat as much food as locally as possible. Growing your own is as local as it gets!

What is ‘yardsharing’?

Yardsharing is an arrangement between people to share skills and gardening resources in order to grow food as locally as possible! The group can be friends, family or neighbors (or any combination!)

I’m sure you don’t even have to be a locavore, let alone a “hyperlocavore,” to be interested in “yardsharing” (who doesn’t want to get their hands dirty and grow fresh food?).  Check out this new social networking site which is built to support growing in yardsharing arrangements with neighbors, friends and family. Bring your skills, strength, time and resources together to make the food-to-plate distance even shorter!

LizM, the site moderator says, “We are here to help people form and maintain yardsharing systems, suburban farming and to help bring back neighborhood street life.” Thanks!
