Quoted: In the Fall of 1972, she says, “Jules toured the neighborhood selling apples from the back of his station wagon and talking co-op to anyone who would listen. He also distributed flyers door-to-door. Finally, when enough people had chipped in a few dollars apiece, Jules was ready to make his dream a reality. He rented the store front at 555 Carpenter Lane, which had been Sid’s Delicatessen.”

Quoted: For things like eggs and honey, some urban and suburbanites are skipping the store entirely and turning instead to their own backyards. Whether from tighter food budgets or local eating ideals, more people are petitioning their cities to allow small-animal husbandry.
