This week we are chatting to young-urban-farmer, Marty, AKA one of The Gnomes.
The Gnomes are brothers Raymo, Shane, Marty, and lifelong friend Jason. Together they are hosting a productive micro urban farm on a quarter of an acre, on the grounds of Dublin City University community garden.
As you may know, this month we have been chatting to The Next Generations of Food producers. Marty, a ripe 29 years of age, came to good food for the taste and a break from computers and found a whole lot more. In this episode, he tells us his story of how the Gnomes came to be and how this micro urban farm has become such an integral part of community and DCU campus life. We hear about the people they meet, their methods of farming, and how “The Gnomes” success is ever-growing.
