Urban Farm Tours 2014
Berkeley & Oakland June 7, 10am-4pm
Vallejo June 8, 11am-4pm
See what established home-scale urban farmers are up to and what is possible on a small. medium, large, or extra large urban lot.
You will see fruit & vegetable gardens, composting systems, rabbits, goats, bees, greywater and more, plus you will get to sample some of what these urban farmers are producing. Each homestead is unique in its interpretation and use of space. This will be a chance to ask questions about animals, gardening, techniques, greywater systems, rainwater harvesting, food forests, permaculture and more.
