Underground farm makes sure that DC gets its greens

MICRO greens are seen in the Little Wild Things City Farm below The Pub & The People restaurant last week in Washington, DC. Mary Ackley, who lives in the US capital, had to keep an open mind while pursuing her dream of becoming a farmer. So she went underground. It’s in the cellar of a Washington pub that the 35-year-old grows microgreens, which are finding favor with local restaurants and residents. “That’s some pretty beautiful basil,” she said proudly as she pulled out a tray packed with a lush carpet of tiny plants from neatly-stacked shelves set up in the storage space alongside the beer.
