Read this entire article on CSA's, "Supporting Local Farms Starts in Early Spring," in the Bangor Daily News.
Wishing Stone Farm in Little Compton, RI is recycling used oil to help grow its vegetables.
“We’ve spent a lot of money on a used-oil boiler that we’re heating a greenhouse with,” said Skip Paul, who owns the farm along with his wife, Liz Peckham. “If people bring us their used motor oil or used fryolator oil, we’re paying them back in tomatoes.”
Ms. Peckham said the special boiler accepts three different types of oil: drain oil, vegetable oil and No. 2 motor oil.
