Urban Farm will grow more than 600 heads of leafy greens year-round
Community Connections Society of Southeast B.C unveiled its new Urban Farm to the public on Nov. 16 at Pop Price Park in Cranbrook.
"It'll be really interesting to see how the style of farming can be duplicated or expanded to supply other communities, just to make our food system more resilient to changing environments or more extreme weather," she said." It's not going to ever replace the whole food system, but having this as a supplement to kind of withstand this extreme weather is really important.
Sansom said there are limitations to what the greenhouse can grow, since root vegetables like carrots or potatoes typically don't do well with hydroponic systems.
