Echo Farm

The thing that I enjoyed the most was the bamboo trees. They had them all over the place, for the fact that they provide material for structures that are eco-friendly and do not harm the environment when you dispose of them. Between other things I enjoyed the way they used the land to self sustain them selves by growing their own food. Over the year these kinds of farms have despaired through the industrialization movement. People have forgotten the real benefit of growing healthy and pesticide free food. I was a little disappointed on the way the farm looked. I was expecting a more organized and eye-appealing environment. Being there made me reflect what great impact it is to teach other communities how to grow their own food and help fight world hunger and property. In addition to this I think the only gardening I have done in my life is watering my mom’s flowers and plants, but after visiting echo it made me aware that it is possible to sustain your food needs and production. Honestly and being true to myself I really don’t think I’ll be able to grow my own food. I have an issue that I don’t like to eat the food I cook, therefore I think if I grew my own vegetables and food I would not be able to cook or eat it. I also agree that I’m part of the group of people that like things quick and easy. I just feel that in today’s world we don’t have time for our selves, and especially I don’t think we have time to farm our own food. I agree that it would be a healthier alternative, but it’s not going to be part of our society any time soon.
