Taste-Test Bizarre Foods at This High-Tech DMV Farm
from City Cast DC · host City Cast
Area 2 Farms in Arlington is not what you imagine when you think of a farm. It's indoors and has bizarre plants that taste like roasted garlic, cheese, or oysters. And for the cherry (tomato) on top, this vertical farm is fighting climate change with all kinds of sustainable techniques. We road-tripped out there last fall to learn about it all from founder and chief science officer Tyler Baras. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter.
