Orlando Event TV interviews Ann Lemis of Green Sky Growers, a technologically sophisticated and sustainable rooftop garden in Winter Garden, Florida.
This 4th-floor hydroponic sustainable garden is located immediately next to the Garden Theatre in a city called Winter Garden, which is just comical. Green Sky sells their lettuce and other products to 8 local restaurants and at the local weekly farmer’s market. See more video about Winter Garden at the Daily City.

Locally grown organic produce delivered right to your door every week, if you live near Tampa. The Lancaster’s Hydro Farm website says they are located in Brandon.
From T.S. Elliot’s YouTube Channel:
I get a weekly deliver of a fruit and vegetable basket from a local farm. I describe how i am going to use forever bags to store the produce. Do a search in your local area for the same service.
Do you have CSA in your area? Are you a subscriber? How much of your weekly food for meals is actually grown locally?
In the ground floor of an otherwise trendy (and empty) condominium building in College Park, there is a shining beam of local light called Harmoni Artisan Meal Market. They are known to host many local events, most recently was a Slow Food Pot-Luck Dinner.
This is awesome for a number of reasons:
- Hand-made food
- It was all grown locally
- Community
- Deliciousness
- Someone made a video about it!
My friend John Rife posted a link to this video, and it was just exactly the kind of thing that makes you smile and get angry at the same time. The people who made this video must have been total geeks – Thai fighters? Tofu-D2? Really?
Anyway, the message is simple – save the organic farms, save the cheerleader – wait, maybe it’s “with great food comes great responsibility”, or… you decide.
