Earning an Income with Urban Farming

Council Bluffs Campus - Cost: $30


Designing a self-sufficient backyard starts with intention and smart planning. In this class, you’ll learn how to assess your space, map out productive zones, and build a system that works with your goals—whether that’s feeding your family, reducing grocery bills, or creating surplus. We’ll cover garden bed placement, perennial vs. annual crops, water access, composting systems, and how to stack functions within limited space. You’ll leave with a clear framework for designing your own backyard system and the confidence to begin implementing it immediately.
