Queen City FarmThe Queen City Farm planning group is requesting that the City of Buffalo make available a group of houses and vacant lots in the heart of Buffalo, for the creation of an urban farm and transformational development. Queen City Farm will transform approximately 2.25 acres of currently vacant lots into fresh nutritious food with sustainable farming techniques. A small portion of the farm will be cultivated for market to contribute to the local economy and financially sustain the farm; most of the acreage will be cultivated for distribution to low-income residents of the neighborhood and community.
