Went to the Annual Members Meeting for Green Broad Ripplelast night at Union Jack.
They have an "Urban Garden" where they grow produce for use in local restaurants, saving the world in a small way by eliminating transportation pollution, etc.
There was also talk that ( I was under this impression...) they were hoping to sell vegetables at the local farmers market (by the high school/saturday mornings), but in talking to one of the people involved, they don't want to compete with the farmers, so just do the restaurant thing.
Also, note-worthy was that a recent initiative was to get the restaurants/bars on the north side of Broad Ripple Ave. to recycle, and apparently so far (in just this past year) over 9 tons of glass has been recycled. Go, Dirty Hippies!
Back to the Urban Garden...they are already starting plants in a greenhouse, and are planning on three different growing cycles this summer...will keep you posted...
