About this Presentation:

Cherie and Wisdom Jzar have an incredible story to tell that will inspire you to envision new possibilities for yourselves and your communities. Born from a desire to ensure that their family had access to fresh local healthy foods, their passion for farming led them on a journey that began with converting their yard to a food forest to the creation of a thriving urban farm where they implement and share best practices in sustainable living, including urban agriculture, regenerative farming, beekeeping, canning and preserving foods. Learn about what they do, why it's important to farm in the city, and why it’s critical to develop and support local farms.

The presentation will be recorded for 

members to view later in our Video Library.
