The Food and Flowers Freedom Act....PASSED!

Live in L.A?  Ever think about putting the back yard to work for you?  Due to out dated city ordinances, you couldn't grow and sell vegetables, nuts or flowers in your yard to sell off site (on on site for that matter!)  
...UNTIL NOW!  
This week the city council passed the new ordinance allowing urban farmer to sell their bounty, with no objections!

President Garcetti's response about the passing of the Food & Flowers Freedom Act:
This makes sure that people can eat healthier and save money during these tough times, while at the same time setting clear rules to avoid any confusion with neighbors or the city. We hope this is a big step forward for urban farming here in Los Angeles, and across the nation.” 
— Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti
