Anatomy of an Urban Homestead

Urban Homesteading is the term often used to describe city dwellers who are using their urban space to become more food self-sufficient. It is a collection of skills that allows you to reduce food costs and increase food quality while also reducing your carbon footprint and improving natural habitat for wildlife. This class will go through the important components of a thriving urban homestead and give examples of how much productivity is possible in a space the size of a city lot.
