Urban Farming SPIN Style

When: 10am-2pm, July 24, 2006
Where: Somerton Tanks, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Participants of this field day will see SPIN (S-mall P-lot IN-tensive) Farming in action at Somerton Tanks Farm, a half-acre prototype urban vegetable farm located on Philadelphia Water Department land. Participants will tour the farm and learn about SPIN's agricultural and financial breakthroughs, about how it's enticing a new breed of farmer and inspiring conventional farmers to rethink their own operations. They will see how SPIN can be used to create new farmland closer to metropolitan areas, and how it can re-establish a viable role for independent farmers in the U.S. food production system.
