City Farmer News
People from all walks of life—shoemakers, fashion models, tech enthusiasts, politicians, lawyers, teachers, and chefs—can all cultivate their own food at home, whether in backyards, community gardens, or on rooftop spaces. For over four decades, City Farmer has inspired urban residents to transform patches of their lawns into flourishing vegetable gardens, herb beds, and fruit plants. Our core message remains unchanged since 1978 and will continue to resonate for years to come. This website serves as a hub for stories about our initiatives at City Farmer based in Vancouver, Canada, as well as urban farming efforts from across the globe. It is updated and managed by Michael Levenston, the executive director of City Farmer.
