The Northern Onondaga Public Library in New York State owned some land and decided to turn it into a farm and called it The Library Farm.
"In the spring of 2010, the farm’s first season, a dozen or so plots—which are offered free of charge to anyone with a library card—were planted. Today, around 30 gardeners farm roughly 50 plots. Individuals and families can cultivate plots on one side of the land with little or no commitment, while the other side is a dedicated “community garden” where the harvest is donated to local food pantries."What a great concept. A learning environment outside. Article here.
