This farm is located in a space lined with houses and apartments and was started in 2015. Since fruits and vegetables are expensive in the cities, they sell the fruits and vegetables they produce at no profit. They distribute food not only in Boston but also in the state. When you buy local food, the emission is lower, and the local economy grows up. I was surprised to learn that they serve about 5,000 meals a week to restaurants. It was a smaller farm than I had expected, so I wondered how they could grow that many vegetables. But it can grow enough food for CSA. CSA is Community Supported Agriculture, which allows people to buy local food. Also, they were also collecting rainwater and using it to grow vegetables and fruits. The reason why they use rainwater is that rainwater does not contain harmful chemicals. I think this is a good idea because it is a way to avoid wasting water. Also. I can learn how to change food waste into soil.
They also provide children with the opportunity to experience farming. sometimes, they go to school and teach where food comes from and where food goes. It is connected to children to learn about the environment because food and environment are connected. I think this is a good opportunity for children to learn how to grow vegetables.
