Berkeley wants to rival Tulare as a farming center.
"Sophie Hahn famously said it was easier to grow and sell marijuana than vegetables in Berkeley.
Now, at the urging of Hahn, a Berkeley resident with a large garden, the city is moving to make changes to the law that would allow backyard farmers to easily sell their produce.
It’s another example of cities being forced to reckon with the growing urban agriculture and local-food movement. Many cities still have laws on the books from the post-war era that discouraged any type of commercial farming – and other dirty things -- inside the city limits."
This has nothing to do with the urban farming phenomena, it has to do with cities allowing citizens to violate the law.
Imagine home grown pot from the land of radicals and druggies--that is a marketing plan!
