Upcoming Urban Farming Workshop

Urban Farming! It’s in the AIR…or should we say soil.

There is nothing more invigorating than digging your hands in some dirt on a nice Spring day. Well, seeing and tasting the fruits and veggies of your labor rivals it. If you haven’t ever tried your hand at growing food, make this Spring your season to dig in. Not feeling in touch with your green thumb? Learn some of the basics and alternatives of Urban Farming from University of Florida’s Institute of Farming and Agricultural Sciences Extension.

On March 21, 2012, the Orange County IFAS Extension will host a Workshop from 9:00am – 3:00pm, discussing urban farming topics like hydroponics, aquaponics, vegetable production, blueberry production and alternative landscape groundcovers, small poultry flocks, the new Cottage food law, and more.
