Description

This week we will get into how Curtis went about getting his very first piece of urban farm land over 5 years ago. We will talk about what worked and what didn't work when he was just starting out and trying to gain access to land. The unique part here is that this was all happening in the beginning. Before Curtis had built any social capital from being an active urban farmer. There were no demonstration sites or track record to refer to, it was only one person saying this is what I am gonna do, are you interested in helping. As you will hear Curtis eventually found his first piece of land to farm. That got the ball rolling and from there he never looked back. It is week 15 of the urban farm season - June 23, 2015.
