Urban Smart Farms Details
Urban Smart Farms was founded on a passion for changing the future of farming. We are sustainability advocates dedicated to improving our planet and the health of its people. We strive to increase access to healthy, locally grown food choices, connect individuals with nature, and teach the value of the environment. Our mission is to blaze a path in the local farming movement, inspiring and empowering communities to grow their own fresh, healthy produce in a cleaner, simpler, more efficient way.The Center-To-Table GardensThe Center-To-Table gardens, located in the lobby of the Orange County Convention Center, were created out of Urban Smart Farms' vision for more sustainable food sourcing in the heart of our hometown; Orlando, Florida. Paired with one of the most unique food growing venues in the world, the gardens offer a special opportunity to educate the center's visitors on the practices of responsible food sourcing. The OCCC is the largest Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified convention center in the world, attracting nearly 1.4 million attendees each year.Our 2,000-square-foot gardens produce fresh vegetables and herbs in an all-natural, chemical-free environment, with the output being prepared daily for the center's clients. Each living tower is capable of growing 44 plants at one time. With nearly 4,000 growing ports in total, the Westwood Lobby stays lush and green, and visitors can enjoy seeing the plants at various stages in the growth cycle. Between the towers and propagation area, we have up to 7,000 plants growing at any moment. The produce includes tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and herbs with a primary focus on various lettuce varieties such as butterhead, romaine and leafy green mixes. Urban Smart Farms has consistently harvested nearly 1,000 living plants per week since the grand opening of the gardens in 2016. The fresh produce is transported directly to the center's kitchen after harvest.
