Make Money as an Urban Farmer!
I got this from my permaculture email group. Enjoy!
Presented by the Sustainable Commercial Urban Farm Incubator (SCUFI) program
October 8 & 9, 2011, 8am-6pm, The Gardens at Heather Farm. Walnut Creek, CA
Featured Trainers: Curtis Stone of Green City Acres, and James Kalin of the SCUFI program.
Curtis will share how he used SPIN-Farming® to build a multi-lot 1/2 acre urban farm that is on track to gross over $60,000 in his 2011 second season.
James will share how a SCUFI trains farmers and helps them get money and land to set up their own commercial urban farms. He will explain how your farm can make extra profits by integrating farm operations into the grounds, structures and systems of nearby buildings and businesses. He will also describe a new part of the SCUFI program that helps SCUFI participants get a farm home to rent or own as a sustainable commercial urban farmstead.
Saturday: Indoor lectures and demonstrations
Sunday: Outdoor hands-on business and field exercises
