Vancouver Food Network

Urban Farm School is the brainchild of two Clark County women, Toree Hiebert and Kendra Pearce. With the goal to increase community health and happiness by re-connecting people with their food and the land, they offer a variety of agricultural services, with a focus on small-lot, urban and suburban agriculture.

From Classes to Tutorials to Events and Parties

In addition to a delightful series of affordable classes in garden basics, they also sponsor a series of social events throughout the season and are available for in-home services. In-home services vary from consultation about a person's individual, site-specific issues to work-along tutorials. For individuals, church and neighborhood groups, they have also developed a series of "Garden for Life" parties, each with a specific theme. Designed to help small groups of friends learn a task and have fun together, these are a terrific group activity, with practical and lifelong benefits.

With years of varied teaching and agricultural experience (including past experience operating a CSA), Urban Farm School is a terrific business model for helping people to help themselves while improving quality of life for individuals and communities.
