Crops Grown on Barge Lets Folks in NYC Pick Free Food From Docks
A project called Swale has built an “edible forrest” on an 80-foot barge that will cruise around New York City to let people pick their own fruits and vegetables for free.
Partially an art installation, the Swale barge urban garden will use New York’s waterways to deliver nutritious food to the city’s food deserts, with scheduled stops through the summer at different docks around the city. People will be encouraged to step aboard and harvest fresh produce for their kitchens.
