Civic Works’ Real Food Farm continues to grow crops in the winter, employee city residents

It’s the time of year when temperatures barely get above freezing and the ground is frozen solid.  It’s not the most ideal conditions for growing fruits and vegetables but a farm in Baltimore is still harvesting crops and giving job opportunities to city residents.

Civic Works’ Real Food Farm sits on about six acres in Clifton Park, just off The Alameda.  In the summer, it is a bustle of activity, with volunteers working under the hot sun harvesting crops.  While it’s not quite as busy in the winter, but that doesn’t mean the farm gets a break.
