Whatever. Expect another epic FAIL.
"...but right now they just don't have the distribution mechanisms set up."
Gee. I know LOTS of local farmers. They'd LOVE to have a gig growing food for a local school. But guess who stands in the way?
Yep. GOVERNMENT!

...and why are they profiteering on land that is owned by YOU and ME?

Just wait until the first time a local farmer is sued because some kid was allergic or the produce wasn’t washed enough.

What ??? Does Obama think this is a way he can pay down the deficit ???
Why not open a lemonade stand while he’s at it ???
Uhhhh - better make that Kool-Aid stand ...
BTW -
I read recently that there was something wrong with that garden at the WH ...
Something to do with sludge being used as fertilizer in the garden the Clintons had there in the same spot as Obama ...

Green acres is the place for me.
Farm livin’ is the life for me.
Land spreadin’ out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.
New York is where I’d rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.
...The chores.
...The stores.
...Fresh air.
...Times Square
You are my wife.
Good bye, city life.
Green Acres we are there.

Well they certainly have no shortage of manure in Wash. D. C. to fertilize the crops!

How about a herd of Wagyu cattle grazing on the White House lawn? The Obamas would have steady supply for their weekly cocktail parties, and they could sell the surplus at the farmers' market for us peons to enjoy (assuming we could afford it).

People could urinate and defecate on the lawn for natural fertilizer.

They’ll make $44.00 and this will cost the taxpayers $1.2 Million dollars.

Whatever. They aren’t going to set up anything just outside the White House.
It will never pass muster with Secret Service, DOD or the D.C. Police.
But, boy don’t they just love to talk?

"Not long ago, the first lady planted the first seeds for the White House's own organic garden."
And the food produced ended up with higher than normal levels of lead. This new project will be another disaster no doubt. These people work wonders, and $hit blunders.
