When They Say It's Locally Grown, They Mean It

Somerton Tanks Farm in Philadelphia is proving that organic farming can be profitable in just about any setting — even in an urban area. Located on a small half acre, the inner city farm is selling its organic produce and salad mixes to local restaurants. It looks like Sommerton Tanks will be grossing around $25,000 in its first year, and doubling that in its second year. “We wanted to prove that a city person who didn’t have a lot of resources could, in fact, practice urban agriculture and be successful at it,” said Roxanne Christensen, a volunteer accountant for the operation.
