Martha Worcester mentions farmer Claire Strader from Madison, Wisconsin. Claire is currently in second place with 5,396 votes, or 28%. She is behind the leader by only 196 votes and ahead of the third place person by 3,469 votes. I know Claire would welcome your support.
The Madison Times has an article on Claire at http://www.madison.com/tct/mad/topstories/434201. Information on Troy Community Farm managed by Claire can be viewed at http://www.troygardens.org/farm.html. At the bottom of the page are also links to the newsletter Claire writes and edits for her CSA members each year. The links include photos of the CSA shares from the farm each week throughout the season. You can vote for Claire Strader for White House Farmer among the 75 current nominees at http://www.troygardens.org/farm.html.

Last time I looked, about 15,000 votes had been cast for White House farmer (www.whitehousefarmer.com -- click VOTE and then vote). Who wins doesn't really matter. This is such great exposure for sustainable agriculture, grow your own and buy local but we need 115,000 votes or better yet, 215,000 to make any kind of impact! If you have not voted, please do. If you have, send the link to everyone you know and get them to vote. I'd love if you voted for my CSA farmer, Claire Strader ( http://whitehousefarmer.com/?p=88), but the important thing is VOTE!
