City Farmer cover

City Farmer celebrates the new ways that urban dwellers across North America are reimagining cities as places of food production. From homeowners planting their front yards with vegetables to guerilla gardeners scattering seeds in neglected urban corners, gardening guru Lorraine Johnson chronicles the increasing popularity of innovative urban food growing.

"Infectious and motivating... A manifesto on how city dwellers can be more engaged" --Gayla Trail, author of You Grow Girl and Grow Great Grub "Vibrant and alive... a spirited journey to meet those who are rediscovering the economic, social, and healing power of growing food in the city" --Michael Ableman, author of Fields of Plenty "passionate, optimistic...a boots-on-the-ground tour of urban farms and a call to civic action."--Pittburgh Post-Gazette
