Urban Tips/Education

We are adding a new venture to our operation. This initiative is to introduce/educate our existing and potential customers and their families on urban farming techniques/tips.

Urban food production (“urban agriculture”) may be defined as the growing, and processing of food inside an urban area even if you have no land space.

Beginning Nov 1, 2023, we will begin preparation for our 2024 growing seasons. We will post our activities for the 2024 growing seasons.

We will keep our posts current for interested gardeners to observe and implement our practices in their operations.
