Hello and thanks for following the progress of CSF!

City Seed Farms is a SPIN farm initiative.
The seed, with all the genetic information coiled up tight in a tiny, shiny casing, is the SPIN FARM MODEL, started by Wally Satzewich in Saskatoon.
The soil, a microscopic metropolis of metabolism, is the group of committed/excited individuals that make up City Seed Farms.
The sun and water and wind and nutrients are those the unique terroir of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Toronto, hark! Oh this place, tilled and carved into formation from the receding glaciers. This place, originally named after the Huron word toronton, or 'place of meetings.' This oh so fertile place, where people came pouring in on the great junction of waterways, and stayed for the great abundance that burst forth from its soil.

CSF loves Toronto. We see potential underneath every lawn for productive, delicious vegetable gardens.

Follow along on this blog for the adventures of the first growing season of CSF, or drop by! We're setting up now to sprout to life in spring 2011.
This week, for instance, you'll probably find us assembling a bike trailer and compost bins for as cheap as possible... so this should get interesting.

Hail dirt,
CSF
