Kensington Farm In New York Times

Posted by Kirsten Henri on May 21st, 2008

The New York Times turns its eye on the groundbreaking Greensgrow Farm in Kensington:

Among urban farms, Greensgrow distinguishes itself by being a bridge between rural producers and urban consumers, and by having revitalized a derelict industrial site, said Ian Marvy, executive director of Added Value, an urban farm in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn.

It has also become a model for others by showing that it is possible to become self-supporting in a universe where many rely on outside financial support, Mr. Marvy said.

Pretty sweet for North Philadelphia farm.
