Decades after the most of large greenhouses disappeared along Schaaf Road in Brooklyn Heights, Cleveland's resurgence of urban farming has brought a renewal of greenhouse commerce. Seeded by the Evergreen Cooperative project, part of the Greater University Circle initiative to create jobs for inner-city residents in the neighborhoods on the fringes of the city's culture/ed/med center, the Green City Growers Cooperative built a 3.25-acre greenhouse in 2013 to grow Bibb and other leaf lettuces. In 2013 it produced three million heads of lettuce for grocery stores and food service companies within a 50-mile radius. | Date: March 27, 2013 | Source: Flickr: MMW Horticulture Group | Rights: CC BY 2.0Download Original File
