It's a wonderful idea Joe, particularly if your Mediterranean Farm were run as a cooperative like the organic community gardens and farms in Cuba.  The Director of our Center recently led a "People to People" tour there and will be writing an article in our upcoming newsletter about the successes and challenges of these garden operations.  I think community gardening has so much to offer society, especially for those in need, for young people and the elderly. 

Just had to add my two cents worth!
