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

Thinking about refreshing your garden? Try adding a few pollinator-friendly plants that actually thrive here in Florida. Native wildflowers and Florida-friendly varieties bring in the bees, butterflies, and all the good garden visitors while keeping things low-maintenance for you.

A few easy favorites to mix in:
• Blanketflower
• Black-eyed Susan
• Coreopsis
• Firebush
• Tropical sage
• Dotted Horsemint
• Native milkweed

Plant a mix, keep the blooms going, and watch your garden come alive.✌️🌼
