The Beginnings of Urban Farm School
After watching friends and family struggle with rising food prices, question how and where their food came from, and confounded as to how to change it, the often heard phrase ringing in our ears, “I would love to garden and preserve my own food; I just don’t know where to start” Urban Farm School was born. We were two motivated women with a dream to help people lower their grocery bills, eat healthier, and participate in where their food came from, how it was grown, and how to preserve it for their families’ use throughout the year.
Urban Farm School Today
Our aim is much the same today as it was on opening in May 2008, to inspire confidence in each backyard farmer whether they are cultivating a parking strip, patio, urban backyard, or 5 acres for food and to provide them with the knowledge to obtain that confidence.
