Urban Farming In The Middle Of Fort Lauderdale Is A Thing

The latest thing to sprout up in Flagler Village, the Brooklyn of Fort Lauderdale: urban farming on an impressively substantial scale. Here now, is the very new Flagler Village Farm, an urban agriculture projectgrowing organic food right where it will be consumed. The 18,000 sq. ft. parcel at NE 3rd Avenue and Sistrunk Boulevard, likely to have been considered too small for the much larger urban-infill type development projects going on in the vicinity, had been sitting idle since 2010 when an existing single family home was demolished. Thanks to an ordinance passed in the summer of 2012 the lot was able to be used for food production and add to the mix of uses in this attractive neighborhood, and a farm was born.
