What is Real Food Farms? How is Calvert involved?
Real Food Farm is Civic Works' innovative urban agricultural enterprise engaged in growing fresh produce on six acres of land in Clifton Park in northeast Baltimore. According to their mission statement, Real Food Farm works toward a just and sustainable food system by improving neighborhood access to healthy food, providing experience-based education, and developing an economically viable, environmentally responsible local agriculture sector.
With support from Constellation Energy, Calvert Lower School students participated in planting seeds for Real Food Farms in October. These plants were then taken to the hoophouses at Clifton Park. Now the seeds have sprouted into seedlings. Take a peak at the below photographs for a view of their growth, and stay tuned for future news about Calvert's connection to Real Food Farms!
