Urban agriculture moves indoors
Back in May of 2014, we reported on Jeff Adams’ plans to develop a then-unnamed indoor urban agriculture operation in an industrial park in Detroit’s Brightmoor neighborhood. Today, that operation, which is now known as Artesian Farms, is in full production mode, growing leafy greens and other vegetables in vertically stacked hydroponic trays.
John Gallagher of the Detroit Free Press reports on how Adams and others are introducing indoor, “vertical” farming to Detroit’s urban agriculture scene. Click here to see a video of Adams’ operation.
