- Dorchester, Mass -
"City law allows for community gardens, but not farming. And the city wants to change its zoning code to permit urban agriculture as a way to increase access to healthy food in under served communities..."
The leaders, City Growers Inc, working to evolve the Dorchester plots have experienced success in previous endvors:
"The team hired Codman Square farmer Tim Cooke to tend the soil. Since the original soil might be contaminated, he laid down cardboard and poured roughly 18 inches of soil on top...he planted lettuce, basil, arugula, beets, and tomatoes. By July, a delivery man was pedaling the food by bicycle to local restaurants, retail niches, and hotels."
