Great story.

“We’re working with a generation that had more farms growing up or had relatives or friends working on farms,” said Miller. “It’s been amazing gardening with these seniors and hearing, ‘This reminds me of when I used to pick apples on my grandma’s farm.’ The program connects them with their pasts in a powerful way.”

Very interesting model...all in one compact (mobile) vertical farm.
