Most city dwellers and suburbanites don't personally know the farmers who grow their food but Nigel Walker thinks they should. Walker is co-owner with his wife, Frances Andrews, of Eatwell Farm, a 70-acre organic farm in the Sacramento Valley of Northern California. Every week, one of his employees drives to the Bay Area in a truck fueled by recycled vegetable oil to deliver boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables to more than 450 members of their community supported agriculture (CSA) farm. He also sells produce at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in San Francisco and through three grocery stores.
