"I learned that the beloved urban farm Springdale Farm recently announced it will be closing this summer; owners Glenn and Paula Foore will operate the farm until the end of June, and the farm—opened in 2009—remains part of the East Austin Urban Farm Tour and will continue its scheduled Wednesday and Saturday farmers-market stands until then. The Foores were initially denied a conditional-use permit for outdoor entertainment but received approval two months later in 2015, and with the sale of the property the farm's future now depends on the new owners and on efforts to maintain a portion of the land as a working farm." - Erin Russell
