Curtis Stone runs a commercial urban farm called Green City Acres out of Kelowna, BC, Canada. His mission is to show others how they can grow a lot of food on small plots of land and make a living from it.
Using DIY and simple infrastructure, one can earn a significant living from their own back yard or someone else’s. This presentation was filmed in Spokane, WA on Nov 4, 2017 as part of the Farm & Food Expo and goes over the 5 elements required to successfully make $100k per year on a quarter acre section.

And if you’re interested in getting into urban farming yourself (or just growing a more productive self sufficient garden for your family) you should also check out Curtis’s new book…
The Urban Farmer is a comprehensive, hands-on, practical manual to help you learn the techniques and business strategies you need to make a good living growing high-yield, high-value crops right in your own backyard (or someone else’s). Major benefits include:
- Low capital investment and overhead costs
- Reduced need for expensive infrastructure
- Easy access to markets.
Growing food in the city means that fresh crops may travel only a few blocks from field to table, making this innovative approach the next logical step in the local food movement. Based on a scalable, easily reproduced business model, The Urban Farmer is your complete guide to minimizing risk and maximizing profit by using intensive production in small leased or borrowed spaces.
