Big Tex Urban Farms is instilling urban agriculture practices to help fill in food deserts of South Dallas. A hydroponic garden is growing cucumbers, tomatoes and a variety of greens along with microgreens and melons.
On display in the Errol McKoy Greenhouse on the Midway are a variety of hydroponic systems — tower and vertical — multiple deepwater culture systems and vine and microgreen beds.
It’s a glimpse into a new, indoor hydroponic garden going into Hatcher Farms, a multifaceted community garden planting a pathway to economic stability in South Dallas/Fair Park.
