Why Suburban Lawns Are Becoming Farms
Aug 16, 2017
New York City isn't known as a farming destination, but green thumbs in Long Island have come up with a creative way to grow crops by turning their front yards into farms. Jim Adams, co-founder of Lawn Island Farms, joins us to talk about this new movement. He was recently profiled in the New York Times piece "For Farmers Without Land, a Long Island Lawn Will Do." He's joined by Linda Borghi, founder of Farm-A-Yard, an organization that trains people on how to use their yards to grow crops.
