On Monday evening, New Orleans Food & Farm Network and Recirculating Farms Coalition hosted a special preview of their plans for the upcoming food and urban farm center Growing Local NOLA in the Central City lot located at 1750 Carondelet. The site will soon serve as the new location for the offices of both organizations. From community growing spaces and outdoor farm to table cooking classes, Growing Local NOLA has a lot in store for New Orleans residents. Some other classes and events that will be scheduled at the center include:
- Community and Farmers markets
- After school gardening programs
- Volunteer internships
- Lectures and presentations
- Farmer trainings and workshops
- Harvest dinners and special events
- Space rental
