𝐀𝐧 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧'𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦 (𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬), an initiative to increase food security, especially during winter months: 🥗🥬🌱

🌿Since August, we have been able to produce fresh greens (𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐞, 𝐤𝐚𝐥𝐞, 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝, 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐥) in our own grow towers. Most of the produce has been incorporated into 𝐿𝑢𝑛𝑐ℎ 𝐼𝑠 𝑂𝑛 𝑈𝑠 or 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝐾𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑝𝑠, which means:

We also were able to sell a few bags of fresh greens when we had surplus.
