Vote for Urban Agriculture - check it out!

11 years ago

The Raleigh City Farm has been selected from more than 250 businesses across the country to compete in a Green Business contest for which the reward is $5,000!

Of the ten finalists, three awards will be given. We are honored to be in the final 10 and now we need to win. Funds will go to completing our rainwater collection system to reduce our dependence on city water.

The voting is now open and goes to Sept. 4th at 5pm. So please vote now and share with others, put it on your Facebook page and tweet it if you can. Your vote could help us win one of their first People & Planet Awards.
