Update #5 · Jan 19, 2013 · 1 comment

We are in the final stretch!  Our progress has been outstanding so far, and we hope to keep that momentum going through these final days of our campaign.  Please help us  share our video and our story with anyone and everyone who would like to be part of the sustainable agriculture revolution (or anyone who would just like to pitch in for a basket of veggies, a jar of homemade pesto, or other TAO memorabilia).  

We are excited to announce that during the construction of our urban micro-farm, we will be offering an 8-week workshop series titled, "How to Build an Urban Farm."  We want to invite people from all over Austin and Texas to join us in the process, so they can learn the skills to begin transforming their own neighborhoods into sustainable food oases.  Furthermore, we want to involve people from around the world as we post updates, photos, and videos on our blog at www.tenacreorganics.com.  We hope you will join us!
