For many years,people in American cities have depended on farmers in rural areas to grow fruits and vegetables.But now a new generation of farmers is planting crops in urban areas.
Sean Conroe is a college student.Amber Banks is a teacher.They both grew up farming and gardening.Sean Conroe and Amber Banks wanted to start a farm in the middle of Seattle,Washington."There are a lot of neighborhoods that don't have access to healthy,fresh produce.And if they do,it can be very expensive.So we see unused space as a great place to grow food ."said AMBER BANKS
Sean Conroe created a website to get volunteers and donations.Within a week,they were offered a plot of land between two houses.He says twenty volunteers worked for six weekends to turn the grassy land into a farm.They call their project Alleycat Acres
