Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Small City Farm?
We are located in Charlotte, NC, 6.5 miles from uptown.
How big is Small City Farm?
Just like the name says - SMALL! We have almost 3 acres-but just because we’re little doesn’t mean we can’t be great.
Do either of you have a degree in horticulture?
No, Kim has a bachelor’s degree in English with a concentration in Studio Art. This is code for “you’d better learn to do something useful or you’ll never make any money for as long as you live.” We learned gardening by 10 years of trial and error with all kinds of plants - vegetables, trees, annuals and perennials in this yard. Kim also started and maintained a kitchen garden for two years at the country club where she used to be director of catering. Rohan supervised the horticulture program at the not for profit where he is VP of Operations.
Are you Certified Organic?
No we aren’t, but we don’t use chemical pesticides or chemical fertilizers. We grow as much as possible from Certified Organic Seed, other seeds we use are heirloom.
