City Grown Land Search 2013

  • Post author:

Mowing the lawn is so 2012. Weeding is a drag. Planting massive beds of peonies just to have flocks of feral chickens peck them to a purple pulp is beyond depressing. So what do you do? Think outside the garden box and ponder a partnership with City Grown, our urban farming wonder friends. City Grown is looking for new places to grow food, and their Land Partners pretty much have it made: a share of the fresh produce grown each season, no obligation to maintain the garden area, and the joy of gazing upon flourishing vegetation! (The farmers are quite pleasant to behold as well)

Plot requirements are:

  • Proximity to one of City Grown’s existing hubs:
    • Wallingford at 40th St. and Eastern AveSunflowers
    • Ballard at 60th St. and 17th Ave
    • Tangletown
    • Crown Hill at 14th Ave and Holman Rd
  • Large size (2000 square feet or larger)
  • Good sun exposure
  • Access to water

For more information, check out the City Grown website, or email Becky, Noe or Scott directly at [email protected]
