We've launched into month 6 at The Farm Proper, our mobile urban farm experiment at The Bakery. What we're harvesting: Aztec spinach, strawberries, wild arugula, pole beans, magenta lambsquarter, purple radishes, beets, kale, tatsoi.
The Farm Proper is an experimental project created by a collaborative of artists, designers, and backyard growers to inspire urban cultivation and pocket farms. Using abandoned/defunct shopping carts as our medium, we have designed a scenario to take over a temporarily available industrial lot to provide the community with organically grown food.
Our intention was to start a conversation and indeed it's begun with some welcomed coverage via Fast Company and designboom of Milan, Italy.
Check in on the farm at Facebook or Flickr for an evolving set of photos. And don't be a stranger - we've got some events planned for this summer at the farm. Sign up for updates here.
