Husbandry

Urban Farmer

April 7, 2020 By Zola Zeester Leave a Comment

Creating a farm in the city

“The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.”  — Alfred Austin

From New York, to Paris, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and cities everywhere in-between— rooftops, backyards, and vacant lots have become unique spaces for urban farming, and city dwellers are able to experience the joy and sense of purpose when getting their hands dirty and growing food in their own neighborhood.

Urban farmer, Heidi Kooy, shows us what can be accomplished with 1,000 square feet and a lot of ingenuity, and tells how it has provided more than food to her and her family.
