Grow Your Own
Fresher. Juicier. Tastier. Healthier. The closer food grows to your kitchen, the better it's going to be. There is nothing more local or more environmentally friendly than your own home-grown organic food. No questions about pesticide or herbicide residue, no fossil fuels burned trucking it across the country, no need to worry about nutrients being lost while it sits on the grocery shelf. Whether you own 10 acres or live in a high-rise apartment, you can still raise vegetables, berries and flowers, and maybe even some tree fruit and livestock. Learn from innovative market farmers in country and city, homesteaders everywhere and all-around green-thumbs in this section of New Farm.
