Carl and Kati Freeman, with son River, 4, surrounded by vegetables in their 'quarter-acre' urban farm in central New Plymouth. A New Plymouth couple who transformed their 'quarter acre kiwi paradise' into a small scale commercial urban farm now want to help others do the same and provide fresh, locally grown organic vegetables year round in Taranaki. ANDY JACKSON/STUFF The lawn is gone, but the washing line remains, at Carl and Kati Freeman's central city urban farm. Carl previously worked on an larger scale organic farm on the outskirts of Melbourne before the couple moved to New Plymouth. "There should be no reason for people in Taranaki to buy seasonal fruit and vegetables grown outside the region," he said.
