Growing Lots Urban Farm
The Mission of Growing Lots is to create an economically viable series of urban micro-farms using under-utilized and non-traditional pieces of land (ie.. a parking lot!), and transforming them into growing spaces that feed & nourish the surrounding community through Community Supported Agriculture.
Growing Lots is always seeking to expand its interaction with the community through reduced cost CSA shares, volunteer work days, neighborhood restaurant partnerships, class/educational offerings, and of course community parties! Learn more at: growinglotsurbanfarm.com |
