Given the upheaval caused by the Omicron variant, we will remain flexible and nimble and record all sessions, so you can watch (or re-watch) them when you can. We will hold office hours and one-on-one coaching calls, so you can ask questions and receive support after you watch the recording.

This material is based upon work supported by USDA/NIFA under Award Number 2018-70027-28588.

“There is no set template for urban agriculture, and there shouldn’t be,” says Quatia Osorio, a certified community health worker and doula who owns Quaintly Farm. She built up her second, Journey Farm, in 2019 on land remediated by SCLT after applying for their open bid for farmers. This growing season, Osorio looks forward to introducing fruit trees to establish biodiversity and optimizing the less than an acre of land with vertical space. “Each community neighborhood is individualized so they are all diverse. We should create within the community and not try to create ‘cookie-cutter’ solutions to things we have no genuine understanding of without building intimate relationships with the land, people, and community which exist.”
