• Living Cities Founded in 2008 in Kingston, Ontario, we are a small company with big ideas for cities. Our mission is to convert unused urban spaces to gardens and farms. We believe that cities need to be growing more of their own food - cutting food miles and increasing regional food security. By integrating composting and rainwater collection into an urban farming system, complete with biodynamic greenhouses, root cellars, backyard chickens and aquaponics, we help urban residents and organizations get "off the grid". This year, we're launching our School Farming initiative, partnering up with new local businesses and non-profits to increase urban sustainability, and are excited to announce that our flagship URban Fresh™ CSA program will be growing for over 100 people this year! Join our program today by visiting our CSA's main page.
