Adopt-A-Farmbox Program Makes Urban Farming Accessible

Speaking of kids who can’t ID fresh veggies or just plain don’t have access to veggies even if they could…there’s a great program in NYC aimed at bringing healthy food to millions of urban dwellers stuck in food deserts.

Adopt-A-Farmbox builds and delivers raised garden beds made from recycled materials. The delivery comes with organic soil, seeds, advice and teaching materials for schools or community organizations.

The project, which started in 2010, is self-funded, and continues to take donations through its Kickstarter page.
