[Fast readers: skim the bold/yellow targets]
Rural New York State has been a hotbed of community activism for many years. Chief among these movements are the community-based social movements, including community food programs. These movements have found a welcome home at Cornell University.
I have been subscribed to the Cornell list serve, CFAP-L, for many years and have learned much from the steady progress Cornell and its associate organizations have made at the community level. Available at: www.cfap.org.
I have attached a brochure of the publications of the Department of Sociology of Cornell. I encourage you to visit the website and subscribe to the CFAP-L listserve. The community, food, and agricultural programs and projects of New York (indeed all of New England) are much stronger and have done much more than we in the west are even aware of. This site acts as a clearinghouse for agriculture-based economic topics with links to other very informative websites and resources:www.NYAGDEV.net.
Of particular interest to you in crafting the algae for food marketing plan will be the publications relating to cultivation of farm, neighbor and community relations. As recommended: “[Growing Home] is a must-read for anyone concerned about farming, quality of life in their community, and access to wholesome, affordable food.”Order from: www.cfap.org.

Jim Miller

Five Springs Farms is one of the more successful CSA. We could learn much from their experience. http://www.csafarms.org/fivespringsfarm.asp
