Iron Street Farm Celebrates Its First Year and the Good Food Revolution
Growing Power’s Iron Street Farm, 3333 S. Iron St., is celebrating its first year of operation, this Thursday, June 28, from 6-8pm.
Everyone is welcome. Maybe you have not seen the farm yet, and are curious, or you are a long standing supporter. This Beetnik saw first-hand what goes into the incomparable “Black Gold Worm Fertilizer” that they produce. From compost to worm bin, and then hand screened to get the rocks and larger pieces out, the fertilizer is truly artisanal dirt. This evening is a great chance for people to hear Will Allen, the founder of Growing Power, speak, and to get a copy of his book, The Good Food Revolution. If that isn’t enough of a draw, Chef Randy Zweiban and his team from Province will be preparing the meal.
From bees to aquaponics, from hoop houses to bikes and mushroom chandeliers, there is a lot going on at Iron Street; this event is a great opportunity to get energized and inspired.
Happy Birthday Iron Street from everyone at the Beet!
