Experience Farming in Your Own Backyard
Access the healing properties of nature through education and consulting.
I'm Emily, an experienced urban farmer and lifetime educator passionate about sharing my knowledge with you. I received my education in small scale agriculture from the UMN Farm at the Arb program and have a certificate in sustainable horticulture. I've mastered the art of growing a lot of food in a small space - the 2024 season I grew over 600 lbs. of food in just 1,000 sq. ft. I'm ready to share my knowledge with you! Join me on this journey to cultivate a thriving, three season garden. Let's grow together and create a sustainable, beautiful space right in your backyard!
