Urban farming creates new meaning for farm-to-table and is more important than ever. As the world turns toward more sustainable practices, the move to on-site vertical and regenerative urban gardens permeate cities across the globe. Whether it’s to create more affordable produce, encourage easy access to fresh organic produce or create more carbon sinks, city properties are concocting their own idyllic green habitats, as well as initiate access to experts and educational resources on urban garden spaces.

Here are some travel destinations taking on the trend of urban farming:

WorldMark Portland Waterfront Park

In the heart of Portland, running on 80 percent renewable energy, WorldMark Portland Waterfront Park introduced an on-site demo garden producing food for a local CSA to feed families fresh produce. The park enlisted regenerative urban farmer Dan Campbell to spearhead the project. The garden serves as a catalyst for education as Dan hosts monthly complimentary workshops to instruct guests on soil health, native beekeeping, biochar, carbon capture, pickling, pruning and more.
