Green inspiration: Corazon De Raeymaecker













































I already introduced Corazon on Ü, but she has to be on Coco Green too :) As a Belgian Model Corazon moved to New York for a while. Living in the city she was introduced to a community farm right outside the city centre called Winfall Farms. She learned that she really loved living and working on a farm and was particulary interested in the city farm concept. She now wants to start a simular project here in Antwerp. The whole idea is to start a farm outside the city, where people from the city can come to buy their vegetables. You pay one amount a season and for that money you can come and fill your basket once a week. Ofcourse there's much more to it. Not only do you know where your vegetables come from and that they were grown in a proper manner, you also become part of a community of people that want to step away from the mass consumption way of growing vegetables. I can't wait for Corazon to start with her farm! 




yes that's her driving a tractor =)
