Food coming out of the Food Commons demonstration farm today! Last year, this was a barren piece of industrial land, with our team unsure if food would produce in the first couple of years.

With some low-till techniques, cover crops, and natural composting - food is producing in the first year! Some crops are growing better than others, teaching us what nutrients the land still needs.

These crops are getting dropped off at the local Food Bank for their customers. Want to get involved? Email [email protected]
