Ben Greene, founder of the Farmery, an urban farm, market and cafe, will talk about his vision for a grocery and cafe that grows and sells food at the same site. The Farmery consolidates the entire food distribution system into a single site, creating a new standard for local food. At the Farmery, customers can witness and participate in the growth and harvest of their food as they shop.
