Principia, Inc.

I started a discussion group to generate ideas, assess feasibility and approach to urban farm in South Orange on this site and on http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1252707

Inspiration come from both near and far.

• Glass houses of Amsterdam.
• City Brick Urban Farm in our neighbor city of Newark, NJ, http://brickcityurbanfarms.org/
• Union, NJ Whole Foods herb green house
• Growing Power, Milwaukee’s Only Urban Farm http://www.cgin.coop/node/5869
• Vertical Green House: http://www.verticalfarm.com/

High level objectives:

• Should not cost tax payers anything.
• Service community, local retail and restaurants.
• Provide a learning experience.
• Fit well in suburban setting. Let’s face it, neatness is part of suburban ethos. Good management is critical.
• Service community 365 days per year.
• Be living example of sound environmental practice.
