Old houses and empty places in cities and towns around the United States are finding new life as urban farms.
Eco City Farm in Edmonston, Maryland, is located near shopping centers, car repair shops and homes.The neighborhood is a working-class community.People do not have very much money, and they have limited access to fresh food in the markets.
Over the past two years, the farm has attracted volunteers from the community like Marcy Clark. She teaches her four children at home.On a recent day she brought them to Eco City Farm for a lesson. Her children harvested rows of spinach, mustard greens, lettuce, Swiss chard and carrots. What did Hannah, Caleb, John and Alston think of the experience?
Hannah: “You know, it's good for the earth and it's good for us.”
Caleb: “It may not be like fun, but it's fun, because you're learning and not like writing something out on a piece of paper.”
John：“ Basically instead of feeling down when I have to eat vegetables, I feel happy.”
Alston: “I like coming out here. You know, you connect with the earth, where your food comes from. You appreciate the food a little bit more.”
Margaret started Eco City Farm. She wanted to build a place where
people can learn to live healthier lives.She said，“Our view is that what happens in a community influences the culture of that community.So our idea is growing food in a community and showing that you can have farms even in urban areas and bringing people together.What we do here is a demonstration to show people everything about how to have a sustainable community.” That means not only farming food and raising chickens and bees, but improving the soil with compost made from food waste.
