TRENTON, N.J. — Capital City Farm will now operate in Trenton’s North Ward following a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday that officially launched the new partnership between the City of Trenton and the Mercer County Park Commission.
The property for the farm is located at 301 N. Clinton Ave., which the City of Trenton acquired in 2014, using open space funding provided by Mercer County, and soon thereafter they cleaned up and improved the land for farming.
Today, under a recently executed agreement whereby the City will maintain ownership of the property and the Park Commission will staff and manage the farm, Capital City Farm grows healthy food, much of which is donated to the adjacent Trenton Area Soup Kitchen; offers learning and employment opportunities to Trenton residents; and maintains an open and green landscape to the surrounding neighborhood.
