Testimonial from 2013 student: “I came to the Urban Farm School so I could start my own farm project. I’m leaving with the knowledge on how to do that, plus so much more. I will never look at things the same way again, from how we grow food, to transportation, to society as a whole. Every aspect of my life has been touched by my time here. The UFS has given me what I need to move forward with my dreams, plus the most important thing, community!” ~ Ollie, UFS 2013
