See How Urban Farming Works

Keri Fox grew up on a traditional grain farm in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. After becoming an electrician and operating her own electrical contracting business fora few years she yearned for a more fulfilling career. After doing a fair amount of research and traveling, she found her passion by establishing a urban farming operation in the city of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada home to about 35,000 people. She calls her operation “Green Sister Gardens” as all her produce is organically grown. Keri shows viewers how she acquires backyard space on residential lots to grow her produce from April through to October. Tour various sized lots and see Keri planting, tilling and harvesting crops and see how she packages her products for sale to both the local restaurant trade and people at large. Keeping with her'green' theme Keri uses pedal power to pull at modified little trailer as she travels to her garden lots. Aside from crop sharing some of her production with the property owners she also sells fresh produce at the local farmers market. You can also meet Kirby Froese one of the many people who provides Keri with a backyard in exchange for fresh produce. Keri says she is able to make a modest living doing what she loves and the same time giving city dwellers and local chefs a chance to get a taste of fresh, nutritional, locally produced food.

At one time 92% of the population lived on farms and knew what to do. Now someone has to drive 6 hours to take a 2 day course on how to grow a plant. More people need to take her initiative.

This made my day. Love to see this movement grow.I think people are starting to get the picture that what they consume ,do and think about literally make up who they are mentally , physically and spiritually.Also I think becoming less materialistic actually frees the mind and spirit and connects you better to the earth.

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Wow this is amazing. I've been a gardener for 7 years now and this is my dream to feed people in need with the produce I'm growing. As soon as finances get better I will be helping people and following my dream to one day open a shelter. I love what Mother nature can bring to the table!! Thank you so much for sharing your story I really enjoyed watching this!!

[@ninpo942]

Smells of Curtis stone. Love it! Starting my first 3000 sqft market garden in the coming spring. Best of luck.

[@18deadmonkeys]

Absolutely the Urban Farmer.

[@Laffy1345]

Jeff Fitzpatrick Good luck, starting my garden also.

[@TPSDmike]

From my understanding, Curtis is a product of S.P.I.N. farming as was the gal in this video. Curtis just made it his own.

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Yes me too! I can not wait till finances get better so we can buy some property where I can grow my own food for myself and for people in need of a meal. My dream is to have a huge garden and a 35-50% self sustainable homeatead with a few goats, cornish cross chickens and to beekeep for that fresh delicious honey!

[@dandavatsdasa8345]

Wow! Incredible! My dad was an electrical contractor and I never completely turned onto that. Thank you for sharing informative videos!

[@nereidapr1]

Very smart woman. Love what she is doing and giving healthy food. I think that everybody should have something growing. You can get so many ideas from gardeners here in KZbin. There's always space to grow. Loved and Subbed.

[@permaculturesolutions3539]

Amazing stuff! Can't get enough of the urban farming revolution

[@stevesoutdoorworld2248]

[@kondwanigalanga3722]

It is lovely garden I am wishing to keep sharing the videos, notes and photos

[@aysen8366]

Great job. This shows the world is changing in a great way. Thanks for the video.

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

I love seeing more people growing their own produce and sharing the beauty of nature! My dream is to have a 35-50% self sustainable homestead with just a few chickens, goats and a bee hive so I can get that delicious honey! I want to be able to help feed people in need of a meal. Especially veterans that need help

[@RiverPlaid]

I also thought of Curtis Stone. This was inspiring. Awesome 👏

[@perpetuant5452]

I like you. You go girl. Excellent. Rotate your crop patern according to your competition and sometimes you can aim for a higher price, around middle price, for the crop.

[@DiazGrowsFood]

Hard works pays off !! Awesome job young lady. Love this video

[@doodleysquat2350]

Gorgeous woman, doing beautiful work!

[@markroeder2491]

I watched for a while before my mind said, "Hey I know that voice!", from Prarrie farm report. Nice to see the traditional farmers are behind the new movement of more nutritional locally grown food.

[@jimclaire7996]

Keri, you are really an inspiration. Great work.

[@jennifersteeves5482]

WOWWW! This is amazing!!! I love this so much!

[@jackbridges1237]

Keri, you are kicking ass Lady, very inspiring to me as I launch my market this year. I have enough land that mine is in the same spot plus a 40 x 60 high tunnel. You just gave me the juice I needed going into spring of 2018. Thank you🙏😊🥃

[@greensister6860]

I hope your season is going well! Congrats on your launch!

[@jurejo]

Fantastic. You could also try no dig gardening .

[@alexdw9ifj101]

Its good to see agriculture enterprising people. Very good.

[@robthebeekeeper8997]

She rocks!

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Just love watching this whole movement grow. So much win win for the earth and its people. I hope people consider incorporating edible gardens in with their landscape. The food stores sell so much crap these days and just dont get the quality of home grown.

[@ronrover6594]

Curtis Stone with ... longer hair ;-) Nice job, well done!

[@ArcKnightElite]

Seriously lol they're even reading from the same script it seems ;)

[@TPSDmike]

They BOTH are trained in S.P.I.N farming. Curtis didn't invent this movement. I will acknowledge Curtis has taken it to another level and has been an innovator in the space.

[@adammcghan9658]

She took classes from Curtis Stone and duplicated his system.... I’d take Curtis with longer hair as a compliment... by the way she’s sexier than C.S. LOL

[@markdiakiw6193]

yeah its almost like she is a student of curtis's..... which she is! lol

[@lesliesolwayboyd689]

Awesome!

[@samuelmjlfjell]

Very good organic gardening. I'm loving it. I'm gardening in a urban setting too.

[@kamilamuszynska3226]

You are the "garden - Hero" for me👍😀

[@TheRedlobster123]

her gardens are so neat

[@anthonysinclair5721]

........I quit as an electrician a couple of years back and I've been bitten by the food garden thing big time ..........very cool ; )

[@ickyfrupp2751]

Nice job !

[@SWEAR2CARE]

Thank youim inspired

[@fifthavenuegirl]

Awesome. Very inspiring. I feel a strong calling to grow food, too.

[@africansistersproduce4239]

Girl you rock. What is the name of your spring mix I love it. I would like to plant it for ny customer.k base. Which state are you runnIng your business from

[@MrCntryjoe]

the GREEN BOND, nice!

[@jurejo]

Inspirational in more ways than one. I am a bit disappointed that food is sold in plastic with plastic clips rather then paper bags. I find that veg lasts longer in fridge in paper bags as veg doesn't sweat & obviously plastic is so bad for all of us. Thank you for posting this video.

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

I love the narrator's voice

[@fredfredrickson8892]

cool

[@jimmason1072]

So as a "spin" farmer what would your top 10 crops that you would grow? And where would you get your " organic" adder to your soil.

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Fantastic and very forward thinking.

[@SeniorSucculent]

A TRUE GODDESS

[@eliasescalante1133]

Love this.. would love it more without a male VO.. Keri please make your own video to showcase your farm!

[@HERBALNATUMAN1]

Great job, thanks for the great video also.

[@havenlew]

Excellent work! Good luck with the future!

[@darrelcdammann]

Garden grown always taste better lol I wish I would have thought of that😍 I love gardening.... farming and oilfield hustle sigh......

[@priayief]

Urban Farming in Moose Jaw? Great! But I'm wondering how long the season is and curious to now if this approach has any activity in the winter.

Millennials need to take the time to have children too. And farms are the best place to raise a large family. Grow plants, Grow kids.

[@jacobeksor6088]

Beautiful garden. I planted different kind of vegetables last year , I gave some friend and neighbor some people said why I’m not sale to market ? I said I don’t know where the market?

[@jcobbs4523]

So, she uses both their land and water and they get a box of food?

[@jurejo]

Weekly veg shop, why would you need more. They are not doing any work.

[@SonOfCreator69]

You're Awesome!!! :o)

[@dealific]

Do you test for pollutants in the urban soil or simply hope for the best ?

[@TamanInspirasi]

Taman Inspirasi SAFA

[@markthompsoncpa]

Do the chefs demand all organic food???

[@greensister6860]

No, not all, most of them are more concerned with the taste of the produce.

[@jurejo]

Only ones who care about their customers & want to feed them with quality, nutritious food.

[@BigAlSparks]

...community... supported agriculture? lol ok now that that's out of the way. Good job- driven girl, thumbs up

[@jimdavidson5208]

Such a pretty lady. MINUS the tats and nose ring. Tats are so 1983.
