We will do our best to address any and all questions in a timely fashion.
By the way, the absolute #1 most frequently asked question on the road is whether we can drive upside down (or variations.) And we answer that question differently every time.
Question: We are concerned about the President’s security if there is an organic farm at the White House. How will you address that?
While we are not security experts, we are quite confident that the Secret Service can handle this one. They manage to handle visitors on a daily basis, including garden tours in the spring and autumn.
As far as food tampering issues, we are also confident that the President will face no risk from food grown on what is quite possibly the most secure residence in the world.
Question: Where on the White House Grounds are you proposing? That would be the only seeming obstacle, willingness to provide a site that would be able to be secured and accessible at the same time.
We made no specific location recommendation.
But Michael Pollan joined our call and recommended that five acres of the South Lawn be planted
with organic fruits and vegetables.
President-elect Obama brought up the Pollan piece (although not the specific South Lawn recommendation) in an interview with Joe Klein for Time Magazine, so we’re pretty sure the thought has crossed his mind.
