Area 2 Farms in Arlington is not what you imagine when you think of a farm. It's indoors and has bizarre plants that taste like roasted garlic, cheese, or oysters. And for the cherry (tomato) on top, this vertical farm is fighting climate change with all kinds of sustainable techniques. We road-tripped out there to learn about it all from founder and chief science officer Tyler Baras.

If you subscribe to our morning newsletter, you'll have seen a bunch of extra pics and newsletter-only content about this farm. So if you don't already follow us, do that now so you don't miss out next time! We’re also posting some pics on Twitter! Check them out at @citycast_dc.

And we’d love to feature you on the show! Share your D.C.-related thoughts, hopes, and frustrations with us in a voicemail by calling 2026422654.
