Urban NO TILL Farm Growing 200+ Heirloom Varieties on 1 Acre

Watch how this urban no-till farm grows over 200 varieties of heirloom vegetables and flowers on just 1 acre of land. Ben Stein and Alicia Brown of Edible Uprising Farm are enthusiastic first-generation farmers who took a plot of leased land in Troy, NY and turned it into a thriving community farm in just a few months! Experience their ongoing struggles to work with their local city government as they navigate running a farm inside city limits, and learn how they sold their first season's CSA shares to a new community with nothing to show but an empty field!

Edible Uprising is the coolest name!!! What a great fit for your business model ☺️

These can easily be the farms of the future where people who have an interest in farming learn that they do not have to have a lot of money to purchase large tracts of land and expensive tractors and implements. So much more food can be grown locally and the growing seasons can be extended, thereby eliminating the need to truck produce thousands of miles to the consumer. While farm markets, CSA shares, restaurants and local specialty store serve as ideal outlets for such small farms, getting a foothold into the larger grocery store chains will remain a challenge. Kudos to folks like this couple, hopefully the face of agriculture in the 21st century.
