Pitney Meadows Community Farm

Description

• The Pitney Meadows Community Farm will be an amazing urban farm resource center that will be one of its kind across the U.S. Imagine a city that has a farm within the city limits. A place where community can learn, grow, and share in the excitement of food. A key feature would be a large teaching farm that would bring in the nations best and brightest farmers to train the next generation of eager farmers. There could be classroom teaching time, but also plenty of space for students to actually get their hands dirty, to experiment, trial, and learn by doing. After students had graduated from the teaching farm, they could start their own incubator farms, a 1- to 3-acre plot where they would farm on their own, but with supervision from the staff at the school. Imagine if this farm had a large year-round farmhub building. This building serves as the regions year-round farmers market, and a 6-day- a-week farm store for the regions farm products. It might also include a teaching and processing kitchen to educate our community on cooking with local food. Imagine if a large community garden was a part of this. Where community members from all socio-economic cultures and walks of life were invited to learn from a mentor on how to grow their own food, take classes on beekeeping, orchard pruning, soil health, and more. Imagine if this farm was landscaped beautifully, with fields of flowers and sunflowers, native plants and trees, windbreaks of curly and pussy willow, dogwood and redbud. That it had trails for walking, hiking, and cycling, picnic spots. Boardwalks along the stream and marsh, where families could check out the frogs, turtles and other wildlife that call it home. Imagine, a blank slate, where the possibilities are endless and we are allowed to dream and create a very, very special place
