TC Growers: Prairie Smoke Gardens & Neighborhood Supported Agriculture

Prairie Smoke Gardens is a small scale farm with a "neighborhood supported" model (think CSA) that feeds 10 families. This includes cultivating plant and animal diversity, providing education about sustainable practices and incorporating those practices into production, such as no-till and perennial crops. With a greenhouse for renting space to other growers, selling plant starts and renting land from neighbors, PSG is putting together the pieces to sustain a small ag business in the city.

Host Katie Kubovcik of Prairie Smoke Gardens is also a Farm Education Consultant and a Land Access Navigator with Renewing the Countryside. Knowing how to farm and understanding farm finances does not translate into a new farmer being able to find, afford and secure land. Land Access Navigators offer services to assist new, resource-limited farmers in developing a plan to access land.
