Grow Your Own Food

Getting Started

Growing your food can be one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself and your community. The resources here are all carefully selected and wherever possible, tested in our own gardens. If you’re brand new to growing food, we recommend the Grow Your Own Food course to learn some basics of taking care of plants.

We also recommend looking at Climate Resilient Farming Strategies from (Soul Fire Farm) to learn more about planning for long term success.
