WCNC Charlotte featured the working farm at The River District this week. Plans call for a team of about five full-time farmers, greenhouses, and a building to clean, process, and store each harvest. Produce, eggs, and other local goods will be sold at a community market nearby. The farm will also give residents a place to learn how to grow their own food.
For homeowners at The River District, that means fresh food grown within walking distance of home. Tour the Saussy Burbank model at 7255 Westrow Avenue, open Monday through Saturday 10am to 6pm and Sunday 1pm to 6pm, or call Sherry and Andi at 704-269-8325.
