Fleet Farming

A bike-powered urban farming program + a small-scale distributed agriculture system!

In December 2013, local Central Florida entrepreneur and urban farmer, John Rife, presented the ‘Fleet Farming’ concept at the IDEAS community think+do tank program called “The Hive: Orlando.” Over the course of the month, John and IDEAS leaders began to organize the concept into an action plan, and start implementation of the first pilot program in February 2014. IDEAS For Us, a sustainability NG

O and 501c3 nonprofit organization headquartered in Winter Park, is the organization that manages and operates the ‘Fleet Farming’ program, in partnership with East End Market and other community partners and supporters. The revenue generated from the program will go to further community development and sustainability projects, and expand the Fleet Farming program to other districts and cities. IDEAS For Us

That’s some goood compost! Just like fertilizer is fuel for your plants, compost is fuel for your soil. Good compost should have a healthy mixture (about 1:3 ratio) of greens to browns. Greens are items like grass clippings, coffee grounds, and vegetable scraps. Browns include things like hay, cardboard, and wood ash/mulch. Greens will feed your compost with nitrogen and browns will provide carbon. The steam you see in the video is from the microbes decomposing organic materials in the pile.

Native and non-invasive wild flowers are so important! Not only do they create an inviting environment for native pollinators but they work as amazing ground cover during the summer months to keep your soil rich and free of weeds! If you want to learn more about native plants and sustainable gardening practices be sure to come out for our next Swarm Ride this Saturday!

Ever wonder what we do with the food grown on our farmlettes? 🤔
Fleet Farming donates the majority of our fresh produce harvested to schools in West Orlando.
These communities are in food deserts, which are areas that have limited access to fresh nutritious foods. 🥬🍅🍌🥕🌳
Want to help impact your local community?
Come join us every Saturday, details in EventBrite link in bio 🚲♻️
