8. Final Project

Tomorrow, I hope to cover the East Austin Urban Farm Tour, visiting four farms in Austin that are working to bring local food to the community.

This, despite the fact that Texas was recently voted the number 1 worst state to eat locally, based on the number of farmers markets, CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture), food hubs and the percentage of school districts with farm-to-school programs.

I don’t really know the story, yet. My press credentials haven’t even gone through yet, I’ve been communicating with the PR lady for the past week. So, I’m not really sure what my final project is going to be. But, this topic seems interesting and important to me, so I’m going to give it a whirl.

Anyway, that’s it. Wish me luck. And meet me back here next week to see how it pans out!
