Viet Village Urban Farm
New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A.Project Facts
- Before the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, there were over 30 acres of community-farmed land growing traditional Vietnamese fruits and vegetables.
- The new farm will use sustainable irrigation techniques that require little or no electricity to pump and filter water used in the fields.
- Locally-grown organic crops will be sold in a new on-site farmer’s market that will accommodate the estimated 3,000 Saturday shoppers who used to buy foods before Hurricane Katrina hit.
