Kim Shaw, the owner of Small City Farms in Charlotte, North Carolina, discusses some of the issues with urban farming and recalls some memories of starting the farm in 2007. She explains how urban farming is difficult due to the lack of tax breaks and incentives. Mrs. Shaw mentions the benefits of Fresh List, a mediator between farms and restaurants which provides additional income as well as the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program that allows the community to come to the farm and pick up produce. Finally, she states that the future of urban farming may be heavily affected by the development of Charlotte.
