Fleet Farming in Orlando


     Fleet Farming is an organization in the Orlando area that gets people to donate parts of their lawns to be turned into miniature fields for crop growing. These "farmlettes" are then maintained and harvested by a fleet of cyclists! 

From their page:

Fleet Farming strives to reduce the environmental impact of food production through a pedal-powered, hyperlocal urban farming model that creates a culture of health and vibrant ecosystems by: teaching an intergenerational fleet of volunteers how to grow their own food, activating and re-engaging the community through biweekly Swarm Rides, and creating a breathe free and biodiverse environment through emissions-free, organic farming.
