Urban Farming: Farmer Meets Homeowner

Last month I noticed some signs posted around in my neighbourhood asking people if they would like to offer some of their yard space for a vegetable garden, without actually having to do the work themselves. According to a report in the Toronto Star, one young woman is doing some urban farming in Toronto using other people's land and in return, will give them a basket of produce each week. New farmer Erica Lemieux says "They have the land but no time. I have lots of time, but no land". Sounds like a winning combination.
