Show your support for the the Viet Village Cooperative Urban Farm Project
Many of you are aware that NOFFN has been working with Mary Queen of Vietnam Community Development Corporation to support their work to make the Viet Village Cooperative Urban Farm Project a reality. Blue Moon Fund provided funding which was used for technical support and technical studies by NOFFN, Tulane City Center and Spackman, Mossop + Michaels.
The proposed Viet Village Urban Farm would be an intensively used productive landscape that would include a major produce market, commercial agriculture,and community gardens. These key functions would be supported by a network of green infrastructure and a range of community facilities that would encourage the use of the site by everyone in the community. We hope you will write in support of this project which builds on a long tradition of productive gardening and farming in the Vietnamese community and combines it with the entrepreneurial spirit and energy of younger generations! The comment period will close on November 9th.
