6. The Kickstarter Tumblr

    drewdoesstuff asked: i have a vision for an urban farm in my home town. how can i make that a reality?

    Urban farms can be great civic-minded Food projects on Kickstarter! The ones that are successful tend to be very community oriented, have a space already secured, and tell a story about the creator and what he or she plans on doing. Check out some of these successful urban farm projects on Kickstarter for inspiration. 

  10. America’s first ramen tasting menu.

    Like a culinary nomad, chef Yuji Haraguchi has been slinging his delicious ramen all over NYC. After honing his craft in the back of a bar and at street-side stalls, this soup wizard is ready to kick it up a notch. Yuji is creating a pop-up “omakase” ramen restaurant, where his seasonal and experimental takes on the Japanese staple will be offered as a tasting menu for the first time in the States.

  13. Occupy the farm.

    On April 22, 2012, more than 200 urban farmers and community activists marched onto 10 acres of fallow farmland owned by the University of California and began to plant.

    Throughout the growing season, these activists tended to their crops while engaging in an increasingly contentious dispute with the school over the fate of the land. A veteran filmmaker, Todd Darling, was there to document the entire process, and Occupy the Farm is the result.

    With just three days left to fund the production, the documentary is $3,500 short of its goal — but the gap is closing.
