Oranjezicht city farm : from bowls green to a growing green : urban farms

Urban Farm DB summary

This article traces the history of Oranjezicht City Farm near Cape Town, South Africa. In the 1700s, the farm Oranje Zigt on the site supplied ships on the trade route with fresh fruit and vegetables. A bowling green was built on the site in the 1950s, which over time fell into disuse and became derelict. That site has since been reincarnated as Oranjezicht City Farm, a neighbourhood non-profit project celebrating local food and community.
