Yeah, but the produce isn’t for exclusive use of the tenants. It will be sold through other channels. The artists rendering shows what appears to be a large community garden plot, not a true farm.

The one mentioned in Davis, CA is 3.5-acres and can produce up to 25,000 pounds of produce an acre in peak season. It has 60 apartments. Assuming 2.5 people per apartment, that’s about 700 pounds of food per year per resident!

Thanks for information.
Did not read entire article.
A 3.5 acre farm would no doubt
support 60 families, and then some.
