The city Monday officially asked for proposals from non- and for-profit entities that would farm three city-owned parcels in the Dorchester section to produce "fresh, healthy food for sale in the community."

The land will be leased at $500 an acre — roughly $125 to $200 per year for a term of five years," according to the press release.

Thanks to Andrea Atkinson for pointing it out to me.
