Here is one featured news segment from the latest Somerville Neighborhood Newscast:
Growing Local & Harvesting Food at South Street Farm
Urban gardening efforts in Somerville have created a collaboration of local groups that put small spaces to work growing produce to share with the community. Volunteers and staff recently gathered at South Street Farm to harvest the first crops of the season just in time to stock the Somerville Mobile Farmers’ Market for the summer season.
The Mobile Farmers’ Market makes four stops throughout the city on Fridays and Saturdays through October. Stops bring fresh produce to those who might otherwise find it difficult to access local fruits and vegetables. Income from the markets is reinvested in the growing process. You can find Mobile Farmers’ Market locations and times from Shape Up Somerville at 617-625-6600 extension 4321.
