Tucked behind the stately former brewery building that houses Humanim in East Baltimore, a shipping container is a new frontier in locally sourced food.
Inside, the entrepreneurs behind Urban Pastoral are growing microgreens like kale, butterhead and bibb lettuces to deliver to restaurants within the city. When the food incubator R. House opens in Remington later this year, the direct pathway will be on display at Stall 11. The microgreens will be featured in an all-vegetarian menu from chef Melanie Molinaro. Urban Pastoral is an owner of the eatery.
