5 Points Farms seeks to revolutionize the way locals view farming by offering a haven for the community to tour, explore, and pick their own plants and vegetables.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — If I told you there was a farm in the middle of Jacksonville's Five Points area, would you believe me? Nestled between some homes on Post Street, one local farm is breaking conventional standards of farming by eliminating soil from the growing process. It's called aeroponic farming. Inside the farm, there are 20 aeroponic towers that can hold up to 1,040 plants.
"These plants don't have to fight weather, they don't have to fight for survival," Bane said."We can control the climate, we can grow whatever crops we want year-round. It's the future of farming." "It's nice having zero footprint," said Chloe Mallinson, a volunteer at 5 Points Farm."You can just come to the farm, pick out exactly what you want, know what you're eating, where it came from, and it tastes even better."
