Window Farms

Urban farming is a necessary, but difficult field. I say necessary because we must begin to produce food in the region where it is eaten.  Local food is better for freshness, for the health of the land and the eater, for your carbon foot print, and for your tastebuds.  However, it is understandable and simply a reality that not everyone can have an acre, not everyone wants to leave the city.  It is a misconception that you can’t grow food in the city.  Urban farming practices and thriftiness are growing (www.HomeGrown.org) and The Window Farmers are playing their part.  Find on their website a how to guide and support to help you build your very own window farm made from cheap and recycled materials.  These are high yield systems to help you have a more self sustainable, urban life.
