Farm Wall Returns

The Farm Wall has returned to Smith Alley in downtown Sheridan. The farm wall project in Sheridan, which includes five walls, is a partnership between Smith Alley Brewing Company and Rooted in Wyoming, who received the grant and Bio-Logic Designs, who provided the installation. The goal of the Farm Wall is to help people see different ways to grow their own food, spark conversation, and engage the community. According to a media release from Rooted in Wyoming, Wyoming Farms Walls is a USDA Specialty Crop grant funded project through the Wyoming Business Council and the Wyoming Department of Agriculture.  There are eleven similar projects across Wyoming.

Farm walls are small, vertical, hydroponic growing systems that do not require soil. Their small footprint allows produce to be grown and harvested virtually anywhere, offering exciting options for bringing fresh produce to more people. Produce from the Farm Wall will be harvested by volunteers and donated to local food groups in Sheridan, including the HUB and the Food Group.
