Mayor Ed Lee signed a new measure allowing "urban agriculture" in San Francisco on Wednesday. The legislation rewrites old zoning laws that prohibited people from selling homegrown produce without a permit and a hearing in front of the city.
The push to change the city's codes was lead by farmers like Brooke Buddner and Caitlin Galloway who founded Little City Gardens, a small farm on an empty lot in San Francisco's Mission Terrace. After discovering the city's expensive permit process they teamed up with other local food lovers to push for the zoning change.
Reporter Lauren Sommer spoke with Buddner and Galloway in February about their urban farm.
