MM Partners Loves Urban Farming - Brewerytown needs some farms

MM Partners really likes the concept of urban farming and believes its a great use for vacant land for many reasons:

• better use of vacant land
• better for storm water run off
• return tax delinquent properties to tax rolls
• great way to redevelop fringe neighborhoods where there are an abundance of scary, overgrown lots currently used for short dumping and who knows what else
• who wouldnt want a farm as a neighbor to look out at?
• creates local jobs
• introduce better fresh foods into many neighborhoods

The list could go on and on, but the bottom line is Philadelphia is a great place for urban farming. There are a number people throughout the area already doing it, here a few great links:
