Join us for a discussion and critical assessment of the history and legacy of Sweet Water Organics, the indoor urban farm that existed in a former industrial building in Milwaukee from 2009 to 2013. Although the farm only existed for a short amount of time, it had a tremendous impact on the worlds of urban agriculture, culture, and development – in Milwaukee and beyond.
Participants will include Sweet Water Organics co-founder James Godsil, Sweet Water Foundation Milwaukee Director Jesse Blom, and Sweet Water Principle Farmer Matt Ray.
All are welcome to attend and participate in the discussion. Co-sponsored by the Institute for Urban Agriculture and Nutrition (IUAN) and the MSOE University Scholars Honors Program.
