Excerpt:
“Harvesting Change: Urban Farming in New England features an outdoor urban garden at the entrance of Farm-A-Rama,” said Director of Agriculture Elena Hovagimian. “The garden showcases growing vegetables. Inside the building, visitors can explore an educational display on real urban farms in New England and read about their stories. Daily guest groups from these farms will provide interactive talks and demonstrations.”
“I wanted to shine a light on urban gardening, especially for those living in cities—whether on a rooftop, a patio or in a community plot, everyone can grow their own food,” said Mike Pietruska, the designer behind Harvesting Change as well as The Big E’s popular ‘Power of Poop’ exhibit. “My inspiration came from visiting Erie County Fair’s Urban Garden Walk in Hamburg, N.Y., where I saw how they’ve championed urban farming and agricultural education year after year. It reinforced for me that urban farming is viable and expanding in urban neighborhoods.”
According to The Big E, “Urban farming plays a vital role in supporting sustainable, resilient and healthy cities, and the benefits are aplenty. Producing produce locally combats food insecurity, creates shared spaces, fosters connections, reduces reliance on distant supply chains and provides nutritious food to urban communities with limited grocery access.”
