Margaret Morgan started Eco City Farms. She thinks of it as a place where people can learn to live healthier lives. “Growing food in a community brings people together，” she continues,

　　“Every piece of what we do here is a demonstration to show people everything about how to have

　　an ecofriendly community.” she says. From the Eco City Farms people come to know that they

　　are not only growing food and raising chickens and bees, but improving the soil with compost (肥料) made from food waste.

　　Eco City Farms is an experimental operation. The farm gets its power not from the local

　　electricity networks, but from the sun with solar panels. In winter, the green houses use a

　　geothermal (地热) system.

　　Vegetables can be grown all year. So once a week, all winter long, neighbors like Chris Moss and her three children bike to the farm to pick up a share of the harvest.

　　“I like eating the vegetables，” says fiveyearold Owen Moss.
