THINKING OF FARMING? THINK AGAIN.
There's a new way to farm. It's called SPIN, and it is causing people to re-think not only how to farm, but what it means to be a farmer today.
We'll be on the road in 2012 planting the idea of commercial urban agriculture around the US and Canada. Check here for the schedule, and if you have an audience hungry for SPIN how-to, contact us for booking details.

TIP OF THE WEEKCourtesy of SPIN farmer Laurie E. , Vancouver, WA: I have found Sluggo to be effective for slug control. But I became concerned when I used it in my dog run. The dogs loved it, too, and it made them sick for several days. Makes me wonder about its appropriateness for food crops.
FARMING TOGETHER, WORLDS APART

- Some practice SPIN in their backyards in the city. Others do it on front lawns in the suburbs.
- Some do it part-time, others full-time.
- Some are young and just starting out, while others are older and on their third or fourth careers.
- Some have more money than they know what to do with, and others have less than they need.
- Some are convinced the world is doomed, while others are trying to save it.
What unites them all is a calling to farm.
If you want to follow your calling, follow the system that shows you how to make money farming.
