Welcome!
Urban farming can be tough and rewarding. This page is a place for urban farmers to connect with each other, share information with fellow growers about your experiences in urban ag in New Jersey, raise awareness of event and funding opportunities, and to discuss success tips and best practices.
You are welcome to contribute a post or share a relevant event/funding opportunity, please submit your information. We are always looking to expand the pool of contributors to ensure a diversity of voices sharing their personal experiences and technical expertise.
Feel free to suggest how this page can be made more useful to the NJ urban ag community.
