Why we do this:

I always smile when I hear someone talk about the “new” Urban Farming Movement. The truth is…there has been urban farming as long as there have been cities. For most of human history, food had to be produced close to home. We are realizing that this “Factory Food” isn’t good for us or our fragile world. Many want to revive the ancient practice of raising their own food, but many skills have been lost. It is our mission, to help those who want to regain this knowledge. Let us help you combine the old with the new and build something better than both! We believe it is not grand gestures, but the small things that will save our world.
