MyFarm ~ Organized SF Urban Gardening Venture

The USAToday has an interesting story today entitled A Bounty Sprouts in the City with MyFarm Enterprise about...

"...an enterprise that puts vegetable gardens into people's backyards, then sends a gardener once a week to do upkeep and harvest, leaving a weekly basket of fresh produce behind."

MyFarm founder Trevor Paque had the great idea to turn otherwise underused urban land into a productive "decentralized urban farm".

"MyFarm charges customers $800 to $1,200 to install the garden. Then for a weekly fee that varies according to the size of the plot, a gardener weeds, tends and harvests the garden, leaving the owner with a week's worth of vegetables. For time-starved residents, MyFarm is a way to get organic produce grown steps from their kitchen without having to touch a trowel. For yardless neighbors, it lets them effectively buy a share of their neighbors' gardens. What makes Paque's venture different is that he sees all the gardens as merely components of one large farm."
