The Barrow is a place for businesses interested in health and sustainability to take root as they bring nourishment, inspiration and positive solutions to our community. Inspired by the 1923 poem The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams, the name conveys our interest in connecting the urban experience to nature, and in each of us carrying “our load” of responsibility for the planet and each other using the simple image of a wheelbarrow full of soil.
