An Urban Farmer in the City

- Throughout her young adult life, Amanda Morse has worked entirely in the nonprofit food sector. When she moved to Portland, Oregon, she was ready to apply her skills in a new direction. Knowing she wanted to live in the city, Morse decided to become an urban farmer, and began researching vacant plots of land in the city using Google Maps and other online resources to contact prospective property owners about leasing their land. When the owner of the Tropicana Barbecue restaurant in North Portland responded favorably, in the winter of 2011, Morse was able to begin transforming the ¼ acre parcel adjacent to the restaurant into her Blue House Greenhouse Farm.

Truly inspiring! and it looks a lot like the allotment garden that I haveaccess to here in Oslo. It is 100% organic, my piece of land is probably around 22 square meters, and it is an oasis in spring ,summer and fall. This year I had radishes, carrots, red beets, roman kale, swiss chard, pumpkins and some spinach. Check out "Oslo urban farming" for videos. Greetings from Oslo, Norway.
When I win the lottery, I'm going to set up community gardens everywhere!
Issac Newton It's great to know people still have a heart! Great comment.
Ok let’s be honest I don’t think anyone would do that if they won the lottery!
Scorpion Boss24 I would. Don’t care what anyone else would do.
We love to see people grow their own food successfully thank for the info
"An Urban Farmer in the City". Where else would an urban farmer be?
Bravo from Paris (France) ... Sorry for my poor english ... This alternative looks like Urban Farmer in Cuba ... Longue vie au projet d'Amanda Morse et Food Farmer Earth ^_^
Merci! =)
yes, that's right, but what about the infrastructure? The tanks, irrigation, motor(s), and another greenhouse - which also involve cost and additional knowledge. If she knew she was staying, investing in more food production possibilities would be doable. Unfortunately, getting permanent accessible land within a city is a barrier for many who want to do something similar. Hopefully something more permanent will come about & she'll have a chance to consider aquaponics - which is a great idea!
I do think adding aquaponics could be a good idea - many restaurants (and individuals) are looking for good local sources for fish - but with a year-to-year lease this might not be too practical for this farmer.
Yes, it is pretty amazing how much food can be grown with a small space. My fingers are crossed she will find another spot, one that is more permanent too.
Here in UK that wouldn't be allowed, sadly. We need all sorts of permission from local councils, insurances etc., and it's usually refused.
Wean Mullinder There are still cities here that won't allow such a use of land, but many are changing their laws. Last fall, in San Francisco, they began offering tax breaks to land owners (with empty lots) that allowed food to be grown. More here: www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/09/09/347141038/tax-breaks-may-turn-san-franciscos-vacant-lots-into-urban-farms As the need arises, maybe laws will change in your area too.
sadly there's no chance here. You even need planning permission to erect a garden shed ! There have been instances of people building outbuildings without permission an they have been bulldozed !Love your videos.
So much for progress!
And thank you. =)
Get an allotment.
Love what your doing.
That's a good looking garden, pitch the idea to your local authorities, it's gotta be better then letting derelict sections get all weedy and let the landlords have some free food, thats what people used to do when i was a kid, Their land got looked after and they got food until they wanted to do something with it
Has anyone watch "Food Choices" on Netflix? If many people watch that video, seeing what everyone is doing to their health and our environment, and maybe more will change to a healthy lifestyle. Especially, the plant-based lifestyle, then we will need more urban farmers! ;)
Sadly a lot of local governments make it more difficult for things like this to succeed. The Pacific Northwest is a lot more friendly to these types of things than most other places, like NEW YORK CITY! No! We need $$$$!
Congratulations for doing farms in the city, I hope more people can continue doing this in big cities, we all need fresh food and fresh air! Keep doing it (:
Seems like alot of work. Just the small garden I have I never thought how much care you have to put into it. I do love it though. Having fresh crunchy veggies is surely worth it.
Alhamdulillah
Verry good & good luck
Thanks for your spirit
I love what you are doing! So awesome! You're crops look great!
Good luck Amanda!!!
Doing it like a boss!
Very good video . also can try us smartfarm to growing you food to
youre an inspiration
You're doing a great job. I know it's hard to put 100% in something that's not a sure thing. God bless you and your garden.
I don't think she can because she said somewhere in the video that she had to go find some part time work.
Wow ! Very nice urban farm . I hope everyone also grown their own urban farm in their back/front yard .
it seems a good idea, but all that pollution... no... to many cars, sorry
Still there? I live in the Couve, but I'd love to see what your place looks like!
Try Aquaponic farming!
Put in a greenhouse with aquponics, the fish make money.
Amazing! Keep it up Amanda! ;}
Getn U ready for the END times
there's youtubes about ending every sentence with a question mark? You're beautiful Lady! But it's hard to get past ending every sentence as if you're asking a question? "Suspension of disbelief?" Cucumbers? Profit? Honesty? Sad... about your communication style, no doubt Canadian influence?(??) "We sold some cucumbers today?"
I wish you could somehow change the syntac of your voice inflections, because you are right on with what you are doing!
oops I should also say... English is the global language, and English voice-inflections are part of understanding the language. Just so you know, any sentence that has voice inflections of a 'question' confuse multi-nationals who are learning English. I realize this is not part of your world... just sayin'. Love your work!
I've noticed this for a long time as well. It's usually attached to hipster types with irony and pretense so intwined with their core that they just can't help it. Nothing is concrete, solid, that's why it's accompanied with verbal absolutes like "honestly" and "absolutely" and "for sure" etc. etc. It's about a totally subjective way of looking at the world.
Both Tilapia and Catfish grow very fast
City folk are curious creatures.
Good for you mam.
I wish to live in a place like this..
