From Robert Whitcomb’s “Digital Diary,’’ in GoLocal24.com

What a fine project -- providing fresh food while helping kids learn about growing vegetables in containers year round at “Freight Farms’’ run by Boys & Girls Clubs south of Boston.

Here’s some background  from, yes, Wikipedia:

“Freight Farms is a Boston-based agriculture technology company and was the first to manufacture and sell "container farms": hydroponic farming systems retrofitted inside intermodal freight containers. Freight Farms also developed “farmhand’’, a hydroponic farm management and automation software platform, and the largest connected network of hydroponic farmers in the world. The company has installed more than 200 farms around the world, on behalf of individuals, entrepreneurs, educational and corporate campuses, and soil farmers.

“In 2018 the company announced Grown by Freight Farms, an on-site farming service for institutions and organizations that would benefit from food grown on-site.’’ Good for places with the cool snap called “winter.’’
