Escape01

by Jess Chamberlain, Sunset market editor

We're taken with the concept of Fire Escape Farms: "For city folk with country fantasies...offering everything you need to turn even the smallest space into your own little farm."

Basically, urban farming for the rest of us—where small space doesn't necessarily mean a skinny side yard plot or a balcony, but where your only "outdoor" space might just be your fire escape. TEENY TINY.

The pop-up shop is residing in San Francisco's mission district through August (yes, sadly, only temporary!). But you can purchase small space farming goods on the company's website anytime. And if you live in the area, delivery is available by bio-diesel wagon!

From seeds and planters to books and letterpress cards, for gifts or for you, this little shop is an expertly curated urban gardner's dream.
