Anthony Flaccavento is the author of a brilliant book. I just love this book "Building a Healthy Economy from the Bottom Up". He's been an organic farmer for twenty-some years. He's ran for congress as the Democratic candidate in Virginia. He's got a website bottomupeconomy.org and RuralScale.com,

His Youtube channel is Take 5 With Tony

Networks to help each other.
