Urban Oaks Organic Farm Needs Support Following Accident

Urban Oaks is an Organic Farm in the city of New Britain.  The farm is active in the community, and boasts a CSA, farm stand, spring plant sale, and Green Faire.  They were featured in last month’s Gleanings, but we have featured them again this month in an effort to spread awareness of a recent accident at the farm. An automobile drove into the farm stand, sending the office manager to the hospital and causing extensive damage to the building. This comes hard on the heels of Hurricane Irene, making it difficult for the farm staff to clean up from the storm and to complete their harvest season.


If you think your or your organization might be able to offer support or assistance to Urban Oaks, don’t hesitate to email us here at CT NOFA or visit Urban Oaks online.

MONEY AS DEBT This 45 minute animated video is an allegory of the creation of money, and explains in clear detail how we went from a gold standard to our current system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc3sKwwAaCU

ZEITGEIST: ADDENDUM The first 21 minutes of this video also explains how our current system operates. You don’t gain the context of gold banking, but it’s incredibly concise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gKX9TWRyfs

THE MONEY FIX This video moves beyond our current system and explains money from an informational and technological standpoint. This one will get you to think about the conceptual and abstract aspects of ‘money’. http://www.themoneyfix.org/content/video-money-fix

THE SECRET OF OZ This movie explains the hidden allegory of the gold and silver standards within The Wizard of Oz, and also discusses a lot of historical aspects of money. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swkq2E8mswIt
