Fleet Farming

Fleet Farming A bike-powered urban farming program + a small-scale distributed agriculture system!

In December 2013, local Central Florida entrepreneur and urban farmer, John Rife, presented the ‘Fleet Farming’ concept at the IDEAS community think+do tank program called “The Hive: Orlando.” Over the course of the month, John and IDEAS leaders began to organize the concept into an action plan, and start implementation of the first pilot program in February 2014. IDEAS For Us, a sustainability NG

O and 501c3 nonprofit organization headquartered in Winter Park, is the organization that manages and operates the ‘Fleet Farming’ program, in partnership with East End Market and other community partners and supporters. The revenue generated from the program will go to further community development and sustainability projects, and expand the Fleet Farming program to other districts and cities. IDEAS For Us

Sending out a HUGE thank you to our volunteers this past weekend at Whisper Creek Farm with our farm manager Jacob 🧑‍🌾 The team reset the perennial beds and finished up the basket bed so everything is ready for fall planting! Every volunteer day is filled with opportunity to learn more about growing food and maintaining plants and you might even meet some friends along the way!
