The Farmery in North CarolinaWe've seen farms and farmers markets, and we've seen <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/shipping-container/">shipping containers repurposed</a> into all kinds of creative structures - but we've never seen all of these combined in one convenient space until now. <a href="http://www.thefarmery.com">The Farmery</a> is comprised of four shipping containers that are each outfitted with a gourmet mushroom growing system on the inside and growing panels on the outside walls where small crops are grown. The system saves space, energy, and time, and the crops are sold in a mini <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/farmers-market/">farmer's market</a> snuggled in the space between.1
