Master Urban Farmer

The Instructor, Zach and Me

The Best Folks Ever!

The class ended in July and I received these photos today from Sarah - she's way far to the left in the back row wearing a green shirt. We took a class together a few years ago and she recommended this one for me. How these people enlighten me! Each one had a mission, plan or idea that makes the world better. Some farmed on empty plots in Chicago, others had land from family they needed to learn how to manage. Many just grow food for others but they wanted to learn how to do it AND earn for themselves.

I just want to farm my garden to a larger money making plot and with all these people, I am now inspired to really achieve something next season. I've been in contact with the Michael Fields Institute to assist me in grant writing. I've contacted the neighboring School to see if I can talk to them about teaching the children about growing in back yards. It's Begun!

I needed a little guidance and that's what this class was for.
