Can You Believe What They Did With Shipping Containers?
The shipping container: an incredible tool to revitalize neighborhoods and urban centers.
START A FARMERS MARKET
The Ohio City Farm in Cleveland, Ohio’s west side is one of the largest urban farms in the country. A partnership between Ohio City Incorporated and the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority, this six acre farm overlooking the Cleveland skyline exists to serve the city’s food-scarce residents with fresh, local and healthy produce. The on-site farm stand constructed from shipping containers sells produced from Ohio City Farmers and is open June through November.
