New Urban Ag Discussion Page
Agriculture, according to American Heritage, “the science, art, and business of farming”. Farm, “a tract of land cultivated for agricultural production… [or] devoted to the raising and breeding of domestic animals…” So, the simple definition of urban agriculture is farming in the city. Some people get really upset about what this means, exactly - how big a tract, are you selling the products, etc. Not us - we just want to talk about all the exciting, cool aspects of farming in our urban areas.
So when, at the most recent potluck gathering of folks interested in urban agriculture, not too many people showed up. But we used the time to put together a Miami Valley Urban Ag facebook page (excellent suggestion, Kate, and thanks for knowing how to do it!). If you’ve been dying for a page to talk about all that stuff (chickens, zoning, woodchips and coffeegrounds, feeding the hungry and starting your own urban farm), take a look at the new facebook page. And share it with all your similar-minded, technology-embracing friends! Incidentally, the page is linked to Miami Valley Grown, dedicated to connecting eaters & farmers.

Looking forward to the next Urban AG potluck. We are currently squat gardening a city lot and would like to connect with folks interested in utilizing the space to it’s fullest potential, is there a way to stay connected with Dayton Urban Ag discussions besides FB?
