Home Farming Day, April 12, 2011

I thought you might like to hear about the launch of ‘Home Farming Day’ this April 12, 2011!  Triscuit, has just launched this day to celebrate Home Farming and the joy of growing fresh vegetables, as well as build upon the successes from year one of the Home Farming movement by continuing to work with Urban Farming, a non-profit organization, to plant 65 community-based home farms in 20 cities.

As well as offering you fresh fruit, herbs and vegetables as ingredients for healthy snacks and meals, gardening can be a really fun hobby to share with kids so, to help you learn more about it, I wanted to let you know about the new social network that Triscuit recently launched. HomeFarming.com is an innovative social network that empowers novice and experienced home farmers to share, ask and answer questions about how to grow fresh food! Gardeners can do everything from Creating a profile (to share successes with the website’s community and their social networks) to uploading photos fresh from their home farm!  The site allows them to track the progress of  more than 27 types of herbs and vegetables.

The site demonstrates how everyone can get involved, with ‘how-to’ videos from Paul James, as well as information on Triscuit’s collaboration with the non-profit organization, Urban Farming. Triscuit will also be helping home farmers get started by attaching plantable basil and dill herb seed cards to eight million boxes of Original and Reduced-Fat Triscuit crackers – double last year’s total!
