📰 News we're reading

• Pasco County front-yard farm represents a growing trend in urban agriculture (wusf.org) — A New Port Richey microfarm called Theo’s Harvest is turning front yards in the Garden District into year-round vegetable fields and supplying affordable produce at Tasty Tuesdays by the public library. Farmer Tanner Johnson and his team keep prices low, accept SNAP-linked tokens, and even run a mutual aid fund so lower-income neighbors can get fresh food for free or reduced cost.
