They call me Blanche. Blanche du Cat is my full name. I was named after a character in a famous book that I've never read. I am, after all, a cat. Cats don't read although some people think we read their minds....and then try to read ours. Blanche is French for white. I'm a black cat. My owner, who named me, is a little different that way. That would be Mary. She's not actually my owner; she's my boss. Mary is a farmer and I am a farm cat.

Greensgrow is THE nationally recognized leader in urban farming (don't just take our word for it...) and is open to the public from early spring through Christmas. A small but dedicated staff runs a multifaceted operation, including a nursery, a farm market, and a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, proving that abandoned land is only abandoned if we choose to leave it that way.
