This site is dedicated to the encouragement and growth of the Urban Farming movement, a return to food production in backyards and community plots, and a return to the deep pleasure, satisfaction and connectiveness that comes from participating in life at a fundamental level. Not forgetting of course, the other very important environmental, economic, and resource benefits (see more on our pages About Urban Farming, Food Miles, Taking Responsibility, Animal Cruelty, What are the Choices ).
Here you will find articles and news, inspiration and hope, resources and ideas. It is our own personal goal, to begin by inspiring 10 new urban gardeners.
