I love this Urban Organic series you have been doing Bryant. it is so inspiring, like everything you do.
It is also frustrating because I live in Montreal Canada where the climate is very different. I already have an strong desire to grow my own food and this lights that fire even more.
I wish we had stuff like this in the summer in Montreal.
I can’t wait to be able to grow more of my own food. Looking forward to the next episode.
Kieran, we don’t know much about Urban Farming in Montreal (yet), but I did find this article that talks about what folks are doing in your beautiful city. Maybe we’ll get Bryant up there to check it out!

Thanks for your response. And thanks for inspiring to look further into whats available in Montreal as far as local produce goes, even in the winter. I found some pretty cool stuff. Lufa Farms https://lufa.com/en
We need to get this out to more people.
One of the universities, the one I attended, even offers a city farming program! http://concordialoyolacityfarm.wordpress.com/curriculum-2/
Maybe you guys should come out here for an episode!
Thanks again.
this is so funny, I am from long beach and know exactly where this is! I am glad to see the space is going to good use. It breaks my heart to know and see such a rise in childhood obesity, I think if our community was educated on how to prepare more nutrition meals then they would, and I believe you and the community gardens are a great start. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Good job Julio and Jimmy!
