Fleet Farming
A bike-powered urban farming program + a small-scale distributed agriculture system!
In December 2013, local Central Florida entrepreneur and urban farmer, John Rife, presented the ‘Fleet Farming’ concept at the IDEAS community think+do tank program called “The Hive: Orlando.” Over the course of the month, John and IDEAS leaders began to organize the concept into an action plan, and start implementation of the first pilot program in February 2014.

Thanks to everyone who came to our Swarm Ride this weekend! We love having new groups come out to take part in our urban agriculture plots such as the Emory Group who was a big help this weekend. 🫶

Thanks again for your help in growing local food for our community 🤝🥕

Increasing pollinator habitat 🤝Increasing reading literacy
When working with youth all over Orlando, we try to incorporate books as often as possible. Our Read and Seed program seeks to inspire students to love bees and books through interactive pollinator presentations, plantings and book giveaways🐝
We believe reading and seeding go hand in hand! 🌱Check out our recent projects at Pinewoods Elementary and OCPS ACE. Thank you to The Penny Project for making these events possible ✨

We have had some bountiful harvests and been blessed with Abundance!!!🥭🍌🥑🍒🍋🫚🍆🌶️🫑🫛. All our produce is beyond organic. Being grown ecologically with sustainable practices (e.g., bicycling to tend our farms, utilizing efficient irrigation, composting, upcycling, and much more). We are reducing food miles by growing 100% of our produce locally in Audubon Park. We close the loop as much as possible by composting to create our own soil. All this reduces food waste and reliance on fossil fuels while increasing local food security. Our produce is available at Agrii.io. Help us be a part of the solution and get healthier while doing it.🧑🌾🚲♻️💪🧘♂️.io
