We all have the ability to grow food at our homes. Even if you live in an apartment or a house in the city, it is possible even with limited space. This week I want to share the story of James Clarke who has turned his home to an urban farm. 

Follow James and his journey as an urban farmer on Instagram: clarkes_greens & if you happen to live in San Antonio or are visiting be sure to check out Pearl Farmers Market on Saturday's to find James in action.
