Local residents can purchase fresh ..food directly from farms and support the local economy. ..However, farming on the edge of development can ..also be farming on the edge of existence. Farmers ..often face increasing pressure to sell their land for ..non-agricultural development and possibly complaints ..about the sights, smells and sounds of farming from ..bordering suburban neighbors. .
