Commercial Farming in the city of SF

Little City Gardens is a project started by Brooke Budner and Caitlyn Galloway in the Mission District as an experimental urban farm that markets the produce to local bars and restaurants like the one I visited the other day, Bar Tartine on Valencia. The spirit of the garden is described by the creators, " We are working toward an urban farming model that makes up for its small scale by recycling urban resources (neighborhood composting), eliminating transporation costs (deliveries by foot and by bicycle), creating active, face-to-face relationships with neighbors and customers, and enlivening new forms of community support. The more community we can build around the growing of our food, the more power we can have to change our food systems."
