Mort Brooks Memorial Farm (Weaver's Way Farm)

Established in 2000 as a memorial to a former member of the Weaver's Way Cooperative, the Mort Brooks Memorial Farm (aka Weaver's Way Farm) is a 1.25 acre urban farm administered by Weavers Way Community Programs, an arm of Weavers Way Co-op created in 2007 to run the co-op's non-profit programs, and managed by two full time staff and two full season apprentices. In 2007, with the hire of the two full time staff, the farm was on pace to earn more than $50,000 by mid-July, and was also able to expand its educational mission, bringing students from local schools to the farm.
