waiting for warmth

While we are awaiting warmth I thought I would share a few websites that are inspirational to me. Let me know if you have any great links to urban agriculture!

Homegrown.org
Super hip site all about good food and good practices, put together by Farm Aid.

Kitchengardeners.org
The site is devoted to growing your own goodies in your backyard. It also covers some great news and articles on the politics behind growing.

Yougrowgirl.com
This site is all about making gardening fun and practical. They say, "This contemporary, laid-back approach to gardening places equal importance on environmentalism, style, affordability, art, and humour." Yea!!

Thegreenhorns.net
A new film all about modern young farmers.

Uic.edu/jaddams/hull/Events/farmSite/farmSite3.html
The Hull House Museum's Farm
Right here in Chicago!

Cityfarmchicago.org
City Farm's website, connected to the Resource Center.
Another great urban farm here in Chicago!

Growingpower.org
A fantastic organization that devotes itself to urban agriculture and social justice. And they farm in Grant Park, downtown Chicago!

Localharvest.org
Find your local farmer's market with this handy website!

Growthechange.blogspot.com
A great blog on "what we want to see in the world".

Freedomgardens.org
Freedom Gardens is an online social community of gardening enthusiasts who are fed up with foreign oil, frequent food miles and high food prices.

Guerillagardening.org
For when you need to take to the streets in the name of green.

I hope you enjoy these and the many links you can find on them as well.
There will be more about our indoor growing adventures in the next week, be sure to come back and check it out!
