The Historic Westside just became the first neighborhood in the city to have a community-based urban agricultural farming facility! 😃 🥬🍓🥔🌼 Today we celebrated the ribbon-cutting of the Urban Farm at James Gay Park. 🌳 The goal of the new local food source is to help tackle food insecurity for the area. The Urban Farm at James Gay Park is funded by a $500,000 donation from mgmresortsintl to The Mayor’s Fund for Las Vegas LIFE. #FunFacts about the Urban Farm: -Produce will grow in two climate-controlled containers that can operate year-round 🥬 -Approximately 320 square feet of growing space 🥔 -Produce output is equivalent to nearly 3.5 acres of farmland or eight tons of produce 🍓 -Containers suitable for growing lettuce, leafy greens, herbs, vining berries, rooted vegetables and flowers🌼 #urbanfarming #urbanfarm #farming #agriculture #vegas
