Greens 'n' Things Urban Farm

Greens 'n' Things Urban Farm Converting empty lots to valuable garden space in St. Petersburg, FL with a focus on lettuces, baby greens and root veggies for local families and restaurants.

I’ve been interested in growing my own food for a while now, thinking it’d be neat to be self-sustainable and operate a small farm for a living. Unfortunately, the realities of a farmer are not the same as the utopian vision I had. Land is expensive, equipment and maintenance are expensive, and the economies of scale do not operate by the same rules for farmers as other manufacturers. And so it’s

over before you even start. These are huge burdens to overcome for a new farmer, and are the reasons the average age of a U.S. farmer is now 58 years and continues to rise. There are many different approaches to farming, but nothing I’d come across fit my context of urban living in the most densely populated county in Florida. If you look hard enough though, you can find just about anything. Let’s eliminate the barriers to entry... I’m already paying for the land I’m living on and spending time to maintain it, and the front yard is brown, dusty and bare and sees no use other than a buffer between the house and the street. I cannot fit a tractor in this space, let alone any specialized planting or harvesting equipment, or processing facilities found on a typical farm; therefore, equipment and maintenance costs are reduced exponentially. Highly intensive and organic farming practices are used extensively in other parts of the world and have a long history of growing lots of food in small spaces. These techniques allow a greater diversity of crop and a higher rotation of production that cannot be matched by large scale farms. That’s how we got here; six, 25’ raised beds in the front yard giving us 375 square feet (almost a full 1/100th of an acre!) of bona fide farm land in the center of the most populous city in the most densely populated county in Florida, St. Petersburg. Sunshine City! This Spring at Greens ‘n’ Things Urban Farm, we’ll see what we can grow, trying different varieties of lettuces, salad and braising greens, spinach, chard and baby roots like radishes, beets, turnips and carrots, even some squash, zucchini and peppers. No lights, no pumps, no reservoirs, no tractors. Just sun, dirt and water.

Accepting CSA Memberships Now

Happy July Farm Friends!

Just as last season was winding down, our work was not over! For weeks now, we've been harvesting and clearing out the last of the survivors and filling the rows with summer crops to start us off for the Fall. I am happy to finally be running out of space!! Its cooking out there, but the Sweet Potatoes, Okra, Eggplant, Peppers, Ginger, Turmeric and Roselle Hibiscus don't mind, and I'm hoping they will get us an early start for Season 10!

CSA in an acronym for Community Supported Agriculture, and the way this model works is we sell memberships now, during the off-season when we don't have the same revenue coming in as during the harvest season. This investment in our farm allows us to make necessary upgrades to equipment and infrastructure, and in return, we feed those Members the best of what's available from the Farm for 30 weeks between October and May.

I am taking reservations for next Season's CSA right now.
The Season is expected to run October 16 - May 7, giving you 30 weeks of veggies. $550 for Bi-weekly (Most Popular), $1100 for a weekly share.
You can reserve a spot through our online shop here (https://www.greensnthingsurbanfarm.com/s/shop) .

We're still open!

Summer time is for the fruits!
Don't forget, all summer long I am hunting for and harvesting tropical fruits!
We're a few weeks into Mango Season now, and we should have another couple months of harvests. We've had Passionfruit, Dragonfruit, Lychee, Bananas and Wax Apple so far. Each week is a different spread, with new varieties available throughout the summer. We can probably count on Avocado showing up by the end of the month.

**IF YOU HAVE MATURE FRUIT TREES, I am always looking for local fruit for the Farmstand. I will pay fair prices for quality fruit. We have tons of fruit production right here in Pinellas County, and I'd like to keep making more of it available to our community! Send me an email at [email protected]

Nursery and Farmstand Open in Summer
Veggie Season is done, but we've still got tons of Fruit Trees for sale and Veggie, Herb and Flower starts for your own Yardens.
