Why Urban Farming?

The food we choose to consume, and the way that food is grown, directly affects our bodies and the planet. By eating and growing healthful, organic food, we take an important step toward a more sustainable lifestyle. Urban farming uses minimal space to produce delicious, natural produce that you and your family can feel good about growing and eating.

What You Get

We start you off with seeds, a space in our glasshouse and community garden, and a professional instructor. We keep our classes small so that you can learn in a fun and relaxed environment. Most of all, these classes give you the knowledge and ability to apply what you learn to your own garden at home!
