Grow Food Here: Baltimore, Maryland | Urban Pastoral

J.J. Reidy and Christian de Paco have a big vision for their Baltimore-based freight farming business, Urban Pastoral. Using food as a tool for urban revival, they want to increase access to fresh produce, create jobs, and educate people on all aspects of sustainable food and farming.

Isn't it radishing?

One of the best things about having a Leafy Green Machine at our office in Boston is that we can experiment with growing crops that we’ve never grown before. We do this so we’re able to learn more about what grows best, and relay that information onto our freight farmers.
