The Sustainable Farm at Reading Terminal Market connects people to food they eat

PHILADELPHIA -- At The Sustainable Farm by Custom Cuisine, Chef Christina McCoy is cultivating an indoor vertical farm right inside the historic Reading Terminal Market with all kinds of herbs, greens and various vegetables growing up the walls of her tiny shop.And she uses her space to boost other local businesses, particularly women of color.

So now she grows her own. You can buy her organically grown herbs and veggies to eat but her real goal is to show you how to grow your own. McCoy carries traditional herb gardens with non-GMO seeds and mini hydroponic kits that come with an integrated app that will give you prompts on caring for your plants.

And if you have no outdoor space and therefore no pollinators, McCoy says you can be the bee and pollinate the plant by hand and she'll show you how.
