Hey Beth,

This is Andrew Jansen, not sure if you remember me but I was attending the farm lunch a year ago - I've graduated and am out of Seattle now, but I'm trying to convince my little sister who just entered UW that she should start going ;) .

Anywho, I found this great article about urban farming in Nairobi and other African cities, it was an inspiring read for me and I thought you and everyone else at the UW Farm could appreciate it (if you haven't seen it already! I wouldn't be surprised :) )

Hope that you and all the other farmers are doing great, and that 2012 is another awesome year for the farm!
