Many sustainable homes are also farms. This seperate page is devoted to those
people who not only live in homes that are sustainable (energy effecient,
off grid, recycleing, etc...) but who also grow food
for themselves and for others. See Sustainable
Homes for non-farming related information. See
"food" for information on foods and diet.
