Last Fall, I moved from NYC to north San Diego County, just outside of the Camp Pendleton Marine Base, to work full-time with Colin and Karen Archipley
at their hydroponic organic farm, “Archi’s Acres.” After realizing how
impressive their ideas and effectiveness are, I decided to invest the
money that I earned for writing Greedy Bastards (which when combined
with a loan from Whole Foods) to build a 30,000 square foot “farm
incubator” that can serve as the prototype for job-creating,
water-saving, food-producing, veteran-led hydroponic organic
greenhouses nationwide...
We have begun redeploying returning veterans and unemployed civilians to
US cities, while coordinating with city, state and federal governments
to create good jobs providing local, fresh food, reduced energy waste
and pollution, improved wellness and rebuild infrastructure.
Before he left MSNBC, Ratigan was inviting Ted Rall on his show to discuss the necessity of armed insurrection. So his move to hydroponic farming seems like a much more productive use of his time. Here's a video produced by Whole Foods to highlight Archi's Acres:
