A Fresh New Farmacy Is Coming Soon!
The New Town Success Zone Farmacy is under construction. We are able to make renovations due to funding from a public land trust. It will be a state-of-the-art outdoor teaching garden. Some of the features will include an updated outdoor kitchen area, walkways and pavers, raised beds. Our team will still grow seasonal fruits and vegetables such as greens, tomatoes, peppers, okra, watermelon, cantaloupe and green beans. There will be an outdoor orchard that includes bananas, olives, figs and more. Renovations should be completed by January. Get ready for a brand-new look!
