Curbside Croft an Urban Farm


I have had a couple of conversations with a great group of people namely, Justin, Emily, Matthew and Brandon who are working to start an Urban farm on the West Side of Buffalo. This will be, a far as I understand, a for profit venture which is very exciting! It will be located at the corner of West and Vermont Sts. They plan on using a permaculture model which will allow them to grow organically and will also use Small Plot Intensive (SPIN) cultivation which will allow them to grow more food than normal on a small parcel of land. The plan is to sell the produce from the site and also to bring it to local farmer's markets. This is an exciting development for the West Side! If you are interested in learning more about this group contact Brandon at 716-982-2327 or email at curbsidecroft@gmail.com
