What is mobile & Foster Farming
Mobile Farming is a model of farming that strives to reduce the environmental impact of food production by utilizing privately owned land to grow food for the community. Mobile farmers are deployed like landscapers on these lots to create installations of gardens, edible landscapes and food forests, then also return for maintenance and harvesting. Once harvested it is distributed into various markets. The aim is to turn unproductive lawns, vacant lots, and under managed existing orchards into beneficial small farms in order to boost local food production and economic security.
​
Foster Farming is the is the overseeing of existing farms or orchards that have been previously neglected due to hardships. These farms are brought back to life and then maintained and harvested.
