Urban homesteading is a term often used to describe city dwellers who utilize their urban space to become more food self-sufficient. It encompasses a collection of skills that allows you to reduce food costs, increase food quality, lower your carbon footprint, and improve natural habitats for wildlife. This class will cover the essential components of a thriving urban homestead and provide examples of the productivity achievable in a space the size of a city lot.
Heidi Kern has a life-long love of the natural world and gardening. These two things merged together when she discovered permaculture and was inspired to begin transforming her yard in earth-friendly ways and organize a local Meetup group dedicated to urban homesteading and related topics. Heidi is the co-founder of the Rochester Seed Library, which opened in 2019, and she teaches gardening and seed saving classes to enhance local food resiliency.
