Last summer, while delivering the beloved garden basket to a winner in the Texas Panhandle, I had a chance to visit urban gardener and vegetable enthusiast Danny Melius. He’s both the brains and the brawn behind Nuke-City Veg, a multi-locational urban farm in Amarillo, TX that uses natural practices to grow leafy greens, roots, and vegetables year round.
Nuke-City Veg partners with Square Mile Community Development to farm 6000 sq. ft. in the San Jacinto neighborhood in Amarillo. They are a non-profit working to revitalize the entire neighborhood, and the farm is just one piece of their five overall goals. If you want to learn more, click the link above or come by the 6th Street farm Saturdays from 10 am - 2 pm CT.
If you want to see how this year’s grow is going, follow Danny on Twitter or Instagram. For more info about their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), click here.
