Profiles of sixteeninnovative farms in major cities across America, plus basic how-to tips for composting, canning, beekeeping, growing vegetables, and more. Urban Farms takes readers on a journey across the country to sixteen established and emerging urban farm leaders, from Edible Schoolyard NYC in New York to Novella Carpenter's Ghost Town Farm in California. Sarah C. Rich's profiles about each farm, as well as her basic how-to tips on such activities as kitchen composting and beekeeping, offer insight and inspiration.

In addition, five essays by experts in the field examine a variety of roles that urban farms can play in our lives today.
