• 00:00:00 Curtis Stone runs a farm called "Green City Acres" in an urban area. The farm grows organic salad greens, microgreens, cherry tomatoes, baby root vegetables, and some herbs. The farm can generate over $100,000 in gross revenue per year, but the majority of that comes in the spring and summer months. The farm uses a variety of tools and techniques to maximize production. The farm's home office is also where Curtis does most of his work. The farm's main post harvest area is where the farm cleans, spins, and dries produce. The farm also has modular greenhouses called caterpillar tunnels that allow the farm to extend the season into the winter.
