Bringing back the ol' days. YES we are bringing back agriculture. Right into the middle of the city! I couldn't find a website that listed all of the urban farms in the metropolisis of the USA so I started my own list! If you have farms you would like to add please comment! I'll add them in! Please note these are a little different than community gardens.......urban farms are living, viable, sometimes profit, mostly not-for-profit businesses. Some of them are located in lower income areas and provide training, education, and employment (not to mention fresh, organic produce!).
Here is a list of urban farms that I could find so far:
