Pie Ranch [posted on January 19, 2007]

They grow wheat for crust, and fruit and vegetables for filling, raise chickens for eggs, goats for milk, and bees for honey. School groups trek down from the city to try their hands at planting, weeding, and milking, and get an education about the benefits of their local foodshed to boot. [Pie Ranch]
