Future Urban Farmers: Françoise & Adrien

My husband and I are aspiring urban farmers in Denver. We're finding that some of our biggest challenges with getting our hands dirty is connecting with the right resources and finding land. We're experiencing that the most valuable information and the most helpful resources are from the small network of farmers in the area, growers and those that are involved in the urban farming movement. The networks and relationships that we're starting to build are providing us with the most momentum and inspiration to move forward.  We have learned that there is no handbook to figuring out our challenges, but we instead need to continue to build networks with other people and join forces with other farmers for us to begin to develop our urban farm and our ideas.

We're anticipating that the 'Grow Food Symposium' will give us an opportunity to not only meet some of the more significant figures in the urban farming movement, but it will give a chance to add more to our web of resources and relationships. We hope to gain specific knowledge from the speakers at the symposium of what has worked for them and what has failed. We're looking forward to making those connections that will help us move our venture forward and possibly partner up with others that understand we have to work together at some level.
