All across the country – as the craft and farm-to-table movement continues to grow – people are flocking to community farms, ranches, wineries, breweries and even aquaculture farms. This movement, in the form of agritourism, is creating stronger connections between the community and farmers, promoting healthier eating habits via locally produced foods, and spurring economic development in both rural and urban centers. One of these thriving centers is Vista, Calif., home to a vibrant mix of craft breweries, wineries and distilleries, as well as sustainable farms. One of the newest members of Vista’s farming community is Sand n’ Straw Community Farm, which is owned and run by April and Rich Viles, along with their two sons Jonathan and Stephen.
