TUL Apprenticeship Motto
Farm Consulting...
Imagine a world where your socio-economic status doesn’t limit your access to organic, fresh food, and where your zip code isn't a predictor of public health challenges.
In pursuit of this vision, Ayanna-Grace transitioned her career from education to urban agriculture. Through determination and ambition, she went from volunteer to farm manager, cultivating 31 raised beds and 16 trees, in under 5 years. These experiences allowed her to grow in a variety of spaces; indoors, front porches, 1/4-acre lot, a 7-acre farm located in a park and everything else in between.
Work with her to design your space in your neighborhood.
Community Programming...
Our programs are designed to offer accessible and creative opportunities for community members to engage in urban agriculture.
We work closely with local businesses and community leaders to understand how we can best apply our knowledge to meet the unique needs of each neighborhood. This collaborative approach ensures we honor our mission while directly responding to the people, maximizing our impact where it matters most.
If you're passionate about building stronger, healthier communities through urban agriculture, we invite you to get involved!
