Heirloom carrots grown from seed, this year's harvest in my garden.

L.A. Urban Farmer: Hi, I'm Mariette, a city girl with a big country heart. Since I was a wee kid, I always dreamed of living on a farm, at least part of the time. My grandma, bless her soul, used to think that is a very sweet idea. She grew up in the old country where the milkman would milk the goat right at the front door. Grandma also taught me some great things in the kitchen, though we never got to grow an edible garden together. Her domain was the stove, and mine is the soil. Urban farming is an extension of my love for food, the natural world, and all things green. It is also my vision for bringing together community. We live in the city of angels- Los Angeles- where growing food might just be the last authentic experience. So, hopefully this blog inspires you to see the natural edible world the way I do. Happy growing! Mariette
