Southeast D.C. produces first honeybee harvest on an urban farm
For D. C. residents living in Ward 8, healthy produce can be hard to come across with only a few grocery stores in the area. One local nonprofit is working to change that on an urban farm in Southeast. On Friday, THEARC Farm, saw the first of its kind: Ward 8 honey. The honey harvest is part of a series of urban agriculture classes. The goal is to build more urban farmers in Ward 8 that currently has only one full-service grocery store serving 85,000 residents.
