The group that formed Curbside Farms started out as a campus club in support of proportional representation and wound up as a worker co-op devoted to urban food production. The founders agree they didn’t envision their project would take this circuitous route when they started, but they have no regrets.

L’équipe qui a fondé Curbside Farms était, à l’époque, un club universitaire militant pour la représentation proportionnelle. Aujourd’hui, Curbside Farms est une coopérative de travail vouée à l’agriculture urbaine. L’équipe fondatrice n’avait pas prévu, au départ, que leur projet évoluerait en zigzag, mais ses membres n’ont aucun regret.
