Underground Farming in London's Forgotten Tunnels

108 feet below the streets of London there is a farm that's will provide farm-to-fork produce in less than four hours.

From Gizmag...

"Growing Underground is the brainchild of West Country entrepreneurs Richard Ballard and Steven Dring and has been developed in partnership with Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr. It was conceived as a means of producing local and environmentally-friendly high-quality produce, with the disused tunnels providing the ideal location.

"The tunnels are located below London's Northern Line underground rail link in the Clapham area of the city and were previously used as a bomb shelter for residents. The site currently being used was able to accommodate 8,000 people when needed. Now it provides a steady and controllable environment for Ballard and Dring to grow their crops."

The first deliveries to a local wholesaler are expected in the next few weeks with direct-to-consumer to follow.
