Learn about food forests and edible understory plants as you install them at the Wetmore Community Farm. We'll be planting an edible understory at the edge of the farm under the existing tree canopy. This food forest will host dry shade tolerant native and unique edible plants that will be available for harvest at different times of year.
Presenters Jake Harris and Marco Downs of Stone Soup Gardens help turn streets, parking lots, and under-utilized spaces into community farms. They are honored to be collaborating with Alleycat Acres as the designers and constructors of Wetmore Community Farm, and look forward to sharing their love of tasty plants!

About Alleycat Acres

Mission Statement
Alleycat Acres reconnects people, place, and produce by transforming underutilized space into a network of neighborhood run farms.
Description
In other words, we make farms happen. Food is more than what we eat: it’s a medium through which we can forge intimate, meaningful relationships between people and place. Farming is a medium that reconnects us, both mentally and physically, to our surroundings. Our entire operation is based on the collective belief that urban food systems are key in creating healthy communities.
Our produce is distributed between our volunteers who worked for the day and a network of agency partners including Food Banks, Supportive Housing, Shelters, and Recovery service providers. Join us at one of our weekly work parties at any of our four farms. All ages and abilities are welcome - our farm coordinators will be on site to walk you through tasks and teach you everything they know about urban gardening!
