Prison City Brewing in Auburn is launching a major expansion of its urban farm with the help of new hydroponic equipment purchased from local grower Strawberry Fields, the company announced Tuesday.
Starting in May, the brewery will install the equipment at its North Street location, aiming to offer U-pick strawberries by late June. The farm will also supply ingredients for beers and menu items, with future plans for tours, CSA programs, and more farmhouse-style brews.
Owners Doug and Linda Eldred of Strawberry Fields are retiring from farming but will continue operating their florist shop, supporting Prison City’s sustainability-focused vision.
